(Z)-3-[(1-Methylethyl)thiomethylene]-4-phenyl-1,4-pentadiene-1,1,2-tricarbonitrile

Abstract

In the title compound, C18H15N3S, the limited extent of delocalization between the double-bond systems is shown by the mutual rotation of substituents about the formal single bonds NC—C(=C—S) and (S—C=)C—C(=CH2) by 26 and 49°, respectively. Molecules are linked by four C—H⋯N and one S⋯N contact.
