Benzyl (E)-3-(4-meth­oxy­benzyl­idene)dithio­carbazate

The title compound, C(16)H(16)N(2)OS(2), was obtained from a condensation reaction of benzyl dithio­carbazate and 4-meth­oxy­benzaldehyde. In the mol­ecule, the meth­oxy­phenyl ring and dithio­carbazate fragment are located on opposite sides of the C=N double bond, showing an E configuration. The dithio­carbazate fragment is approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0052 Å); its mean plane is oriented at dihedral angles of 8.19 (15) and 85.70 (13)°, respectively, to the meth­oxy­phenyl and phenyl rings. Inter­molecular N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds and weak C—H⋯π inter­actions are observed in the crystal structure.
