Abstract

The crystal structure of 1-methyl-3-[(3-methylthio-4-quinolyl)thio]-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-quinoline has been determined. The molecule of the title compound adopts a conformation that is skew, but with a tendency to a twist. Both ortho-substituents, the carbonyl and methylthio groups, are in a “cis” orientation to the central Car-S-Car bridge. This mutual orientation of substituents follows from the S⋯O and S⋯S attractive interactions. Several short intramolecular contacts between N-methyl and neighboring protons as well as between S-methyl and neighboring protons explain the presence of the strong NOE enhancement in the NMR spectrum.
