Crystal structure of 2-(3-nitrophenyl)-1,3-dithiane

In the title compound, C 10 H 11 NO 2 S 2 , the 1,3-dithiane ring has a chair conformation with the 1,4-disposed C atoms being above and below the remaining four atoms. The nitrobenzene substituent occupies an equatorial position and forms a dihedral angle of 88.28 (5)° with the least-squares plane through the 1,3-dithiane ring. The nitro group is twisted out of the plane of the benzene ring to which it is connected, forming a dihedral angle of 10.12 (3)°. In the crystal, molecules aggregate into supramolecular zigzag chains (glide symmetry along the c axis) via nitro–benzene N—O...π [N—O... Cg (benzene) = 3.4279 (18) Å and angle at O = 93.95 (11)°] interactions. The chains pack with no specific intermolecular interactions between them.
