Abstract

The synthesis and crystal structure of 1,7-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-(1,3-dithiolan-2-ylidene)-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione is described. This compound crystallizes in the space group P21 with unit cell parameters a = 14.207 Å, b = 7.752(1) Å, c = 19.473(1) Å, β = 91.00(3)°, with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The ketenedithioacetal functionality present between the carbonyl groups prevents the possibility of keto-enol tautomerization in this compound. The cinnamoyl groups are organized parallel to each other due to the push–pull nature of the ketenedithioacetal functionality.
