Crystal structure of benzyl 3-(3-methyl­phen­yl)di­thio­carbazate

In the title compound, C(15)H(16)N(2)S(2), the central CN(2)S(2) residue is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0354 Å) and forms dihedral angles of 56.02 (4) and 75.52 (4)° with the phenyl and tolyl rings, respectively; the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 81.72 (5)°. The conformation about the N—N bond is gauche [C—N—N—C = −117.48 (15)°]. Overall, the mol­ecule has the shape of the letter L. In the crystal packing, supra­molecular chains along the a axis are formed by N—H⋯S(thione) hydrogen bonds whereby the thione S atom accepts two such bonds. The hydrogen bonding leads to alternating edge-shared eight-membered {⋯HNCS}(2) and 10-membered {⋯HNNH⋯S}(2) synthons. The chains are connected into layers by phen­yl–tolyl C—H⋯π inter­actions; the layers stack along the c axis with no specific inter­actions between them.
