Dimethyl (2Z)-2-[4-((1Z)-1-{2-[(2Z,5Z)-5-(2-meth­oxy-2-oxo­ethyl­idene)-4-oxo-3-phenyl-1,3-thia­zolidin-2-yl­idene]hydra­zin-1-yl­idene}eth­yl)anilino]but-2-ene­dio­ate

The mol­ecule of the title compound, C(26)H(24)N(4)O(7)S, adopts a trans conformation about the central N—N bond, presumably to minimize steric between the substituents on these two atoms. An intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. The phenyl ring is disordered over two sets of sites, with an occupancy ratio of 0.624 (8):0.376 (8). The azolidine ring is essentially planar [maximum deviation = 0.008 (5) Å] and makes a dihedral angle of 4.3 (2)° with the benzene ring and dihedral angles of 74.1 (3) and 69.1 (5)°, respectively, with the mean planes of the major and minor components of the disordered phenyl ring. The packing in the crystal is aided by the formation of several weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N inter­actions.
