Crystal and molecular structure of (1S,2S,4aS, 8aS)-N-(N-allyldiaminomethanethione)-1-(2-hydroxy-2,5,5,8a-tetramethyldecahydronaphthalenyl) acetamide

Crystal and molecular structure of a new homodrimanic compound (1S,2S,4aS, 8aS)-N-(N-allyldiaminomethanethione)-1-(2-hydroxy-2,5,5,8a-tetramethyldecahydronaphthalenyl) acetamide has been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal is monoclinic, unit cell parameters are: a = 9.577(2) Å, b = 7.414(1) Å, c = 16.856(3) Å; β = 94.83(3)°, space group P2₁, Z = 2, of composition C₂₀H₃₅N₃O₂S. Two cyclohexan fragments have ordinary structure and chair-configuration typical of this compound class in homodrimanic skeleton. Ethanol molecule is located in the outer sphere. The withdrawal of carbon atoms from planar fragments of cyclohexan rings varies within the limits from 0.722(5) Å to − 0.634(5) Å. A dihedral angle between the mean-square planes of the latter equals 16.0(2)°, torsion angle (5)-(5)-(10)-(16) 171.0(1)° indicates their trans-joint. In the side non linear chain allyl group is connected to terminal nitrogen atom of thiosemicarbazide molecule. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds between carbonyl atom of acetamide fragment, ethanol molecule, and donor-acceptor groups of thiosemicarbazide moiety play the main part in crystal structure organization.
