Abstract
The title compound, C15H12N2OS2, is an example of a push–pull butadiene in which the electron-releasing methylsulfanyl groups and electron-withdrawing nitrile groups on either end of the butadiene chain enhance the conjugation in the system. Short intramolecular C—H⋯S interactions are observed. In the crystal structure, an O⋯C short contact of 2.917 (3) Å is observed.
Related literature
The title compound was obtained during the synthesis of pyridene derivatives, see: Anabha & Asokan (2006 ▶). In push–pull butadienes, the C=C double bonds usually become more polarized due to π-electron delocalization (Dahne, 1978 ▶; Michalik et al., 2002 ▶). For related structures, see: Dastidar et al. (1993 ▶); Freier et al. (1999 ▶); Homrighausen & Krause Bauer (2004 ▶).

Comment
The title compound belongs to the class of push-pull butadiene as they have electron releasing methyl sulfanyl groups and electron withdrawing nitrile groups attached to the terminal carbon atoms of the butadiene moiety. The butadiene molecules are characterized by significant π-electron interactions between donor and acceptor groups and the diene double bond system. Usually C═C double bonds become more polarized due to π-electron delocalization (Dahne, 1978; Michalik et al., 2002). They are important as pivots for the synthesis of heterocycles especially pyridine derivatives. The title compound was obtained during the synthesis of pyridene derivatives (Anabha et al., 2006) and its crystal and molecular structure was determined to study the influence of aroyl group on the steriochemistry of the butadiene molecule.
A perspective view of the title molecule is shown in Fig.1. The two double bonds in the butadiene moiety are arranged in a transoid manner. The lengths of the C8—C9 [1.366 (3) Å] and C13—C12 [1.352 (3) Å] double bonds and C8—C12 [1.439 (3) Å] single bond indicate conjugation. The butadiene unit is almost planar as evidenced by the torsion angles C9—C8—C12—C13, C8—C12—C13—C14 and C12—C8—C9—S1 of -167.0 (2)°, 6.1 (4)° and 17.8 (3)°, respectively. The two methylsulfanyl groups (–SCH3) are oriented in such a way as to avoid the interaction between them as is evident from the torsion angles C10—S2—C9—C8 of -129.17 (19)° and C11—S1—C9—C8 of -148.69 (19)°. Crystal structures of other butadiene compounds reported also show similar geometric parameters (Dastidar et al.., 1993; Michalik et al., 2002; Freier et al.,1999; Homrighausen et al., 2004).
Weak intramolecular C—H···S interactions are observed (Table 1). In the crystal structure a O1···C14(1-x, y, z) short contact [2.917 (3) Å] is observed.
Experimental
2-Benzoyl-2-[3,3-bis(methylsulfanyl)-2-propylidene]malononitrile was synthesized as follows: A mixture of malononitrile (500 mg, 7.5 mmol), ammonium acetate (1.5 g, 20 mmol) and acetic acid (5 ml) was heated to 343 K and then 2-benzoyl-3,3-bis(methylsulfanyl)acrylaldehyde (5 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 5 minutes at the same temperature, cooled to room temperature and then poured into ice-cold water. The solid separated was filtered, dissolved in chloroform, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then the solvent was evaporated. The crude product obtained was recrystallized from hexane-ethyl acetate solvent mixture.
Refinement
All H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride with parent atoms, with C-H distances of 0.93 or 0.96 A. Their isotropic displacement parameters were defined as Uiso = 1.5Ueq(C) for the methyl H atoms and Uiso = 1.2Ueq(C) for all other atoms.

Special details
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'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 > σ(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. |
