“…As part of our on-going research on the conformational and electronic interactions of some β-thio-carbonyl and β-bisthio-carbonyl compounds, e.g. N,N-diethyl-2-[(4-substituted) phenylthio]acetamides, 1-methyl-3-phenylsulfonyl-2piperidone, 3,3-bis[(4-substituted)phenylsulfanyl]-1-methyl-2-piperidones, 2-alkylthio-2-alkylsulfinyl-acetophenones, 2alkylthio-2-phenylsulfonyl-acetophenones and 2-alkylsulfinyl-2-alkylsulfonyl-acetophenones, utilizing spectroscopic , theoretical and X-ray diffraction methods (Vinhato et al, 2013;Zukerman-Schpector et al, 2008;Olivato et al, 2013;Distefano et al, 1996) the title compound was synthesized and its crystal structure determined.…”
