Abstract

The title compound, C(16)H(17)NOS(2), consists of a carbazole skeleton with tetra-hydro-furan and dithiol-ane rings. In the indole ring system, the benzene and pyrrole rings are nearly coplanar, forming a dihedral angle of 1.57 (15)°. The cyclo-hexenone and tetra-hydro-furan rings have envelope conformations, while the dithiol-ane ring adopts a twist conformation. In the crystal structure, pairs of weak inter-molecular N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into centrosymmetric dimers with R(2) (2)(16) ring motifs. Weak C-H⋯π inter-actions may further stabilize the structure.
