The crystal structure of O-ethyl-S-(11-carboxyundecyl)dithiocarbonate

• O-Ethyl S-(I l-carboxyundecyl)dithiocarbonate (CJ5H~8S203) is triclinic (pT) with a=7·534, b=4·797, c=25·304 A, 0:=90·83, jJ=90·72 and y=79·71°. The bond distances and angles agree very well with those reported earlier for the homologue with a shorter carbon chain (C5). The conformations are also very similar in the two compounds. The ethyl end of one molecule just reaches S(2) of a neighbouring one. This results in a packing with only small regions of lateral hydrocarbon chain packing. The chain arrangement cannot be described by any known subcell.
