Abstract
2-(N,N-Dimethylamino)ethanethiol exists in aqueous solution as a cation, zwitterion, or anion in different pH regions. Me2NH+EtSH and Me2NH+EtS− assume the gauche conformation around the NC–CS bond, as stabilized by strong intramolecular 1,4-N–H+···S and 1,4-N–H+···S− hydrogen bondings, respectively, while Me2NEtS− assumes the trans conformation around the same bond.
