Crystal and Molecular Structure of Addition Products of Dimethyl Acetylene Dicarboxylate and N, N′-Thiocarbanilyl Hydrazine

Abstract The compound was synthesized from a reaction between N, N′- dithiocarbanilyl hydrazine and dimethyl acetylene dicarboxylate. X-ray diffraction analysis of one of the reaction products in two different solvents gave triclinic crystals, [Space group = P Ī, a = 13.273(8)Å, b = 19.16(10)Å, c = 10.965(4)Å, a = 95.73(4)°, β = 90.86(4)°, γ = 75.91(4)°, Z = 4] and monoclinic crystals, [Space group = C2/c, a = 34.784(1)Å, b = 13.119(1) Å, c = 21.096(2) Å, a = 90°, β = 91.72(1)°, γ = 90°, Z = 16] respectively. The carbo-methoxy in the triclinic form is cis to C=O in one molecule and trans in the other molecule while it is trans in both the molecules of the monoclinic form. There is a stacking of the five membered ring with phenyl rings in addition to the partial stacking between the five membered rings. The carbonyl groups point towards the centre of the heterocyclic five membered rings mimicking the O4′ … base interaction in Z — DNA. The structure is stabilized by extensive intermolecular C-H…N, O-H…O and C-H…O hydrogen bonds. The solvent molecules also stabilize the packing of the molecules through hydrogen bonds.
