E. Cuthbertson et al., A comparison of 2,7-dihydro-2,2,7,7-tetramethyl-3,6-diphenyl-1,4,5-thia-diazepine and the corresponding 1,1-dioxide, ACT CRYST C, 57, 2001, pp. 431-432
The structures of the highly substituted title heterocycles, C20H22N2S and
C20H22N2O2S, have been determined at 123 (1) K. Both molecules possess exac
t C-2 symmetry and the seven-membered rings have very similar twist-boat co
nformations. The magnitudes of the C-S-C bond angles, 107.13 (6) and 108.27
(7)degrees, respectively, are influenced significantly by the four substit
uent methyl groups on the seven-membered rings.
