2-[(1E)-({[(Benzylsulfanyl)methanethioyl]amino}- imino)methyl]-6-methoxyphenol: crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis

The title di­thio­carbazate ester, C16H16N2O2S2, comprises two almost planar residues, i.e. the phenyl ring and the remaining 14 non-H atoms (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0410 Å). These are orientated perpendicularly, forming a dihedral angle of 82.72 (5)°. An intra­molecular hy­droxy-O—H⋯N(imine) hydrogen bond, leading to an S(6) loop, is noted. An analysis of the geometric parameters is consistent with the mol­ecule existing as the thione tautomer, and the conformation about the C=N bond is E. The thione S and imine H atoms lie to the same side of the mol­ecule, facilitating the formation of inter­molecular N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds leading to eight-membered {⋯HNCS}2 synthons in the crystal. These aggregates are connected by phenyl-C—H⋯O(hy­droxy) inter­actions into a supra­molecular layer in the bc plane; these stack with no directional inter­actions between them. An analysis of the Hirshfeld surface confirms the nature of the inter­molecular inter­actions
