1,3-Bis[(naphthalen-2-ylsulfanyl)methyl]benzene

Abstract

Mol­ecules of the title compound, C28H22S2, are located on a crystallographic mirror plane with one half-mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. The dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and the naphthyl unit is 83.14 (7)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are inter­connected by C—H⋯S and C—H⋯π inter­actions.

“…In this sense, SCS pincer complexes have shown to be efficient as potential catalysts in aldol reactions and Mizoroki-Heck and Suzuki-Miyaura couplings (Singleton, 2003). Previously, we have reported the structure of the pincer SCS ligand 1,3-Bis[(naphthalen-2ylsufanyl)methyl]benzene (Padilla-Mata et al, 2012). Thus, in this opportunity we report here the crystal structure of the potential pincer ligand [2,4,6-trimethyl-1,3-bis(tert-butylsulfanyl)methyl]benzene, the molecular structure is shown in Figure 1.…”
