In the title molecule, C13H13NS, the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the fused pyrrole ring is 0.71 (8)° and the cyclohexene ring is in an envelope form. The (CH2)3 atoms of the cyclohexene ring are disordered over two positions; the site-occupancy factor for the major component refined to 0.862 (4). In the crystal, intermolecular N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of centrosymmetric aggregates via an R22(10) ring.

A mixture of 6-methyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazol-1-one (0.199 g, 0.001 mol) and Lawesson's reagent (0.404 g, 0.001 mol) was refluxed in pyridine on an oil bath pre-heated to 383 K for 6 h. The contents were poured onto cold water and neutralized using 1:1 HCl, filtered and dried. The product was recrystallized from ethanol. The yield was 0.154 g (72%).
Atoms C2A, C3A, C4A of the cyclohexene ring, with attached hydrogen atoms are disordered over two positions; the site occupancy factors refined to 0.862 (4) and 0.138 (4). The N9-H atom was located in a difference Fourier map and refined freely. Other H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å and Uiso(H) = xUeq(parent atom), where x = 1.5 for methyl and 1.2 for all other carbon-bound H atoms. A damping factor (damp 200 15 in the final
cycles) was applied to avoid large and erratic displacements of the hydrogen atoms of the less occupied C atoms.Data collection: CrysAlis PRO (Oxford Diffraction, 2010); cell

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
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. |

The development of methods for the synthesis of fused carbazole nuclei is becoming increasingly important as a result of the number of natural and synthetic carbazoles that display biological activity (Pelly et al., 2005). Heterocycle-annulated tetra-, penta- and hexa-cyclic carbazole derivatives have been developed using successive applications of three atom economic processes, viz., Claisen rearrangement, olefin metathesis and Diels-Alder reactions (Chattopadhyay et al., 2006). The preparation of 1-oxo compounds via their corresponding hydrazones has been reported (Rajendra Prasad & Vijayalakshmi, 1994). Archana et al. (2010) and Thomas Gunaseelan et al. (2009) have reported the crystal structures of substituted carbazole derivatives, in which the carbazole units are not planar.
In the title molecule, Fig. 1, the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the fused pyrrole ring is 0.71 (8) °. The cyclohexene ring is in envelope form. Three C atoms (C2A, C3A, C4A) of the cyclohexene ring, with their attached H atoms are disordered over two positions; the site-occupancy factors are ca 0.86 and 0.14. Intermolecular N—H···S hydrogen bonds form a R22(10) (Bernstein et al., 1995) ring in the crystal structure (Table 1 & Fig. 2).
