In the structure of the title compound, C20H24N2S2, the central CN2S2 atoms are planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0205 Å) but both benzene rings are twisted out of this plane forming dihedral angles of 23.03 (6) and 84.75 (4)° (tolyl); the n-butyl group occupies a position normal to the plane [N—C—C—C torsion angle = −84.33 (16)°]. The conformation of the imine bond [1.2888 (18) Å] is E. The syn arrangement of the thione S and amino H atoms enables the formation of N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds between centrosymmetrically related molecules. These lead to eight-membered {⋯HNC=S}2 synthons which are further stabilized by proximate C—H⋯S interactions. The resulting dimeric aggregates are connected into a supramolecular chain along the c axis by C—H⋯π(tolyl) interactions.

The precursor molecule 3-methylbenzyldithiocarbazate was prepared as previously described (Ravoof et al., 2010). This (2.12 g, 0.01 mol) was dissolved in acetonitrile (35 ml) and valerophenone (1.62 g, 0.01 mol) was added. The temperature of the reaction mixture was maintained between 333–338 K with stirring over 30 min. as a yellow product formed. The product was filtered off, recrystallized and dried in vacuo over silica gel (yield 70%; M.pt. 366 K). Anal. Found (Calc.): C, 66.25 (67.37), H, 6.50 (6.78), N, 7.81 (7.86), S, 18.17 (17.99) %. Light-yellow crystals were grown from its acetonitrile solution through slow evaporation.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.93 to 0.97 Å) and were included in the
in the riding model approximation, with Uiso(H) set to 1.2 to 1.5Uequiv(C). The amino H-atom was refined with a distance restraint of N—H = 0.88±0.01 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N).Data collection: CrysAlis PRO (Oxford Diffraction, 2010); cell

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

In continuing interest in the coordination chemistry of hydrazinecarbodithioate derivatives (Ravoof et al., 2010), structural studies on the precursor molecules have been undertaken (Khoo et al. 2005; How et al. 2007). In this connection, the title compound, (I), the product of the condensation reaction between 3-methylbenzyldithiocarbazate and valerophenone, was investigated.
The central CN2S2 atoms in the molecular structure of (I), Fig. 1, are planar with a r.m.s. = 0.0205 Å. The adjacent residues are twisted out of this plane as seen in the values of the C1—N1—N2—C2 and C1—S2—C13—C14 torsion angles of 167.00 (12) and -163.64 (10) °, respectively. Further, the dihedral angles formed between the C3···C6 and C14···C19 benzene rings with the central plane are 23.03 (6) and 84.75 (4) °, respectively, indicating approximate co-planar and a perpendicular dispositions, respectively. Thus, the benzene rings are almost normal to each other, forming a dihedral angle between their respective least-squares planes of 80.13 (5) °. Finally, the n-butyl group, having an extended conformation, occupies a position approximately normal to the central plane with N2—C2—C9—C10 torsion angle being -84.33 (16) °. The conformation about the N2═C2 bond [1.2888 (18) Å] is E. The thione-S1 and amino-H atoms are syn, a disposition that allows for the formation of N—H···S hydrogen bonds between centrosymmetrically related molecules, Table 1. These lead to eight-membered {···HNC═S}2 synthons which are further stabilized by proximate C—H···S interactions, Table 1. The dimeric aggregates are connected into linear supramolecular chains along the c axis via C—H···π(C14···C19) contacts, Table 1 and Fig. 2. The chains pack into layers in the ac plane and their organic residues inter-digitate along the b axis, Fig. 3.
