The structures of two isomeric compounds, (E)-3-{[2-( dimethoxythiophosphor
yl)-2-methylhydrazino]methylidene}-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran-2,4-dione, C
13H15N2O5PS, and 3-{[2-(dimethoxythiophosphoryl)-2-methylhydrazino] carbony
l}-3,4-dihydro-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one, C13H15N2O5PS, have been determined fr
om X-ray data and compared. The benzopyran moieties of both molecules are p
lanar. Extra six-membered rings are formed by N-H ... O hydrogen bonds. The
geometry around the P atoms is tetrahedral, slightly deformed to trigonal
pyramidal.
