The title compound consists of a chloro­phenyl ring and acetyl moiety bridged over a thio­urea functional group. In the crystal, N—H⋯S and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into infinite chains along the a-axis direction. Neither π–π nor C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions are observed.

Abstract

The title compound, C₉H₉ClN₂OS, consists of a chloro­phenyl ring and acetyl moiety bridged over a thio­urea functional group. The dihedral angle between the acetyl group and the planar thio­urea group is 1.9 (5)°, and they are oriented at dihedral angles of 57.9 (5) and 59.77 (16)°, respectively, with respect to the phenyl ring. An intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond forms an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, N—H⋯S and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules, enclosing R²₂(8) and R²₂(12) ring motifs, into infinite chains along the a-axis direction. Hirshfeld surface analysis revealed that the most important contributions for crystal packing are H⋯H (31.1%), H⋯Cl/Cl⋯H (16.9%), H⋯S/S⋯H (14.4%), H⋯C/C⋯H (12.9%) and H⋯O/O⋯H (9.4%) inter­actions. Computational methods revealed N—H⋯S and N—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding energies of −13.8 and −10.1 kJ mol⁻¹, respectively. Evaluations of the electrostatic, dispersion and total energy frameworks indicate that the crystal stabilization is dominated by dispersion energy contributions.

1. Chemical context

Acyl thio­urea derivatives have attracted considerable attention owing to their biological activities. These compounds have been extensively investigated for their pharmacological potentials, including anti­cancer properties, where they inhibit cancer cell proliferation and include cytotoxic effects, as well as anti­microbial activities against a broad spectrum of bacterial and fungal pathogens (Cui et al., 2017 ▸; Asghar et al., 2018 ▸; Asegbeloyin et al., 2018 ▸; Saeed et al., 2024 ▸; Sakhare et al., 2026 ▸). In particular, several thio­urea derivatives have demonstrated promising anti­cancer activities through mechanisms involving enzyme inhibition and inter­ference with tumour cell growth (Cui et al., 2017 ▸; Mistry et al., 2017 ▸; Ashgar et al., 2018 ▸; Zaman et al., 2024 ▸; Ramos et al., 2026 ▸; Fayyaz et al., 2026 ▸).

In addition to their biological relevance, acyl thio­ureas exhibit inter­esting conformational preferences and supra­molecular behaviours in the solid state. Crystal structures of several 3-acetyl-1-aryl­thio­urea derivatives have been reported (Gowda et al., 2012d ▸; Kumar et al., 2012b ▸; Shahwar et al., 2012b ▸). These compounds typically adopt a pseudo-anti conformation with respect to the carbonyl (C=O) and thio­carbonyl (C=S) groups and are commonly feature intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds further contribute to the consolidation of the packing arrangement.

As part of our ongoing investigations into acyl thio­urea derivatives, we report herein the synthesis, the mol­ecular and crystal structures together with Hirshfeld surface (HS) and crystal void analyses and inter­action energy calculations and energy frameworks of the title compound (I).

2. Structural commentary

Compound (I) consists of a chloro­phenyl ring and an acetyl moiety bridged by the thio­urea functional group (Fig. 1 ▸). The two N—H bonds, beside the thio­carbonyl C=S and carbonyl C=O bonds are in anti conformations. The acetyl (O1/C8/C9) group is oriented at a dihedral angle of 1.9 (5)° with respect to the almost planar thio­urea (S1/C7/N1/N2) group (r.m.s. deviation = 0.005 Å). The dihedral angles between the phenyl (C1–C6) ring and the acetyl and thio­urea groups are 57.9 (5)° and 59.77 (16)°, respectively. The Cl1 and N1 atoms are −0.0638 (19) and 0.027 (5) Å away from the best plane of the phenyl ring. The bond lengths are in normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987 ▸) and comparable to those in the similar compounds: N-(2-chloro­phen­yl)-N′-propano­ylthio­urea [(II); Kumar & Hökelek, 2026 ▸], N-(3-chloro­propion­yl)-N′-phenyl­thio­urea [(III); Othman et al., 2010 ▸] and N-(2,6-di­methyl­phen­yl)-N′-propano­ylthio­urea [(IV); Yusof et al., 2012 ▸], 3-acetyl-1-(2,6-di­methyl­phen­yl)thio­urea [(V); Kumar et al., 2012b ▸], 3-acetyl-1-(2,5-di­methyl­phen­yl)thio­urea [(VI); Gowda et al., 2012d ▸] and 3-acetyl-1-(2-methyl­phen­yl)thio­urea [(VII); Shahwar et al., 2012b ▸]. The C1—N1—C7 [124.8 (5)°] and S1—C7—N1 [125.2 (5)°] bond angles in (I) are significantly wider than the corresponding values in (III) and (IV), while C1—N1—C7 and S1—C7—N1 bond angles are significantly narrower and the same, respectively, when compared with the corresponding values in (II). On the other hand, S1—C7—N1 and O1—C8—C9 [123.9 (6)°] bond angles in (I) are significantly wider than the corresponding values in (V), (VI) and (VII), while N2—C8—O1 [121.8 (6)°] and S1—C7—N2 [117.9 (5)°] bond angles are significantly narrower, when compared with the corresponding values in (V), (VI) and (VII). An intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond (Table 1 ▸) in (I) forms an S(6) ring motif (Etter et al., 1990 ▸) (Fig. 1 ▸).

3. Supra­molecular features

In the crystal, N—H⋯S and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds (Table 1 ▸) link the mol­ecules, enclosing (8) and (12) ring motifs (Etter et al., 1990 ▸), into infinite chains along the a-axis direction (Fig. 2 ▸). Neither π–π nor C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions are observed.

The inter­molecular inter­actions in the crystal were visualized by carrying out a Hirshfeld surface (HS) analysis using CrystalExplorer 17.5 (Spackman et al., 2021 ▸). Fig. 3 ▸ shows the Hirshfeld surface mapped over d_norm. The white surface indicates contacts with distances equal to the sum of van der Waals radii, and the red and blue colours indicate distances shorter (in close contact) or longer (distinct contacts) than the van der Waals radii, respectively. The red spots indicate their roles as the respective donor and/or acceptor atoms in hydrogen bonding. They also appear as the blue and red regions corresponding to positive and negative potentials on the HS mapped over electrostatic potential shown in Fig. 4 ▸. The blue and red regions indicate positive (hydrogen-bond donors) and negative (hydrogen-bond acceptors) electrostatic potentials.

Hydrogen-bond donors and acceptors are shown as blue and red regions around the atoms, corresponding to positive and negative potentials, respectively.

The overall two-dimensional fingerprint plot is shown in Fig. 5 ▸a and those delineated into different contact types are illustrated in Fig. 5 ▸b–r, respectively. According to the two-dimensional fingerprint plots, the H⋯H, H⋯Cl/Cl⋯H, H⋯S/S⋯H, H⋯C/C⋯H and H⋯O/O⋯H contacts make the most significant contributions to the HS, at 31.1%, 16.9%, 14.4%, 12.9% and 9.4%, respectively (Fig. 5 ▸). In N-(2-chloro­phen­yl)-N′-propano­ylthio­urea [(II); Kumar & Hökelek, 2026 ▸], the most important contributions for the crystal packing are H⋯H (39.2%), H⋯Cl/Cl⋯H (15.8%), H⋯S/S⋯H (14.2%) and H⋯C/C⋯ H (9.9%) inter­actions.

The d_i and d_e values are the closest inter­nal and external distances (in Å) from given points on the Hirshfeld surface.

The volume of the crystal voids (Fig. 6 ▸a,b) and the percentage of free space in the unit cell were calculated to be 87.5 ų and 8.6%, respectively. Thus, the crystal packing appears compact and the mechanical stability should be substantial. In compound (II), the volume of the crystal voids and the percentage of free space in the unit cell were calculated to be 105.62 ų and 9.33%, respectively, showing that there was no large cavity in the crystal packing.

The inter­molecular inter­action energies were calculated using CE–B3LYP/6–31G(d,p) energy model available in CrystalExplorer 17.5 (Spackman et al., 2021 ▸), where a cluster of mol­ecules is generated by applying crystallographic symmetry operations with respect to a selected central mol­ecule within the radius of 3.8 Å by default. The total inter­molecular energy (E_tot) is the sum of electrostatic (E_ele), polarization (E_pol), dispersion (E_dis) and exchange-repulsion (E_rep) energies (Turner et al., 2015 ▸) with scale factors of 1.057, 0.740, 0.871 and 0.618, respectively (Mackenzie et al., 2017 ▸). Hydrogen-bonding inter­action energies (in kJ mol⁻¹) were calculated to be −9.1 (E_ele), −1.4 (E_pol), −6.6 (E_dis), 4.3 (E_rep) and −13.8 (E_tot) for the N2—H2N⋯S1 and −4.5 (E_ele), −1.4 (E_pol), −10.8 (E_dis), 8.3 (E_rep) and −10.1 (E_tot) for the N1—H1N⋯O1 hydrogen-bonding inter­actions (see supporting information).

Energy frameworks combine the calculation of inter­molecular inter­action energies with a graphical representation of their magnitudes, and were constructed for E_ele (red cylinders), E_dis (green cylinders) and E_tot (blue cylinders) (Fig. 7 ▸a,b,c). Evaluation of the electrostatic, dispersion and total energy frameworks indicates that the stabilization of the crystal structure is dominated by the dispersion energy contributions.

The cylindrical radius is proportional to the relative strength of the corresponding energies and they were adjusted to the same scale factor of 80 with cut-off value of 5 kJ mol⁻¹ within 2 × 2 × 2 unit cells.

4. Database survey

A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD, Version 6.00, updated May 2025; Groom et al., 2016 ▸) revealed eleven closely related structures of N-acetyl-N′-aryl­thio­urea derivatives: 3-acetyl-1-phenyl­thio­urea, C₉H₁₀N₂OS (CSD refcode GARBIM; Shahwar et al., 2012a ▸), 3-acetyl-1-(2-methyl­phen­yl)thio­urea, C₁₀H₁₂N₂OS (CSD refcode YAXNUI; Shahwar et al., 2012b ▸), 3-acetyl-1-(3-chloro­phen­yl)thio­urea, C₉H₉ClN₂OS (YAXTIC; Shahwar et al., 2012c ▸), 3-acetyl-1-(3-methyl­phen­yl)thio­urea, C₁₀H₁₂N₂OS (LEGQEV; Gowda et al., 2012a ▸), 3-acetyl-1-(4-methyl­phen­yl)thio­urea, C₁₀H₁₂N₂OS (XAZYOO; Gowda et al., 2012b ▸), 3-acetyl-1-(2,4-di­methyl­phen­yl)thio­urea, C₁₁H₁₄N₂OS (LEGCIL; Gowda et al., 2012c ▸), 3-acetyl-1-(2,5-di­methyl­phen­yl)thio­urea, C₁₁H₁₄N₂OS (LEDYAW; Gowda et al., 2012d ▸), 3-acetyl-1-(2,3-di­chloro­phen­yl)thio­urea, C₉H₈Cl₂N₂OS (LEFBEF; Gowda et al., 2012e ▸), 3-acetyl-1-(2,3-di­methyl­phen­yl)thio­urea, C₁₁H₁₄N₂OS (XEBKUM; Kumar et al., 2012a ▸), 3-acetyl-1-(2,6-di­methyl­phen­yl)thio­urea, C₁₁H₁₄N₂OS (Kumar et al., 2012b ▸), 3-acetyl-1-(2,6-di­chloro­phen­yl)thio­urea, C₉H₈Cl₂N₂OS (CLEDSUK; Kumar et al., 2012c ▸). Overall, these N-acetyl-N′-aryl­thio­urea derivatives consistently exhibit hydrogen-bonding networks dominated by N—H⋯S and N—H⋯O inter­actions, which frequently generate graph-set motifs such as (8) and (12), and assemble the mol­ecules into one-, two- or three-dimensional supra­molecular architectures. In several structures, three-centre N—H⋯(O,S) hydrogen bonds and weaker C—H⋯S contacts further reinforce the crystal packing, highlighting the key role of hydrogen bonding in consolidating this family of compounds.

5. Synthesis and crystallization

The title compound was synthesized by adding a solution of acetyl chloride (0.10 mol) in acetone (30 ml) dropwise to a suspension of potassium thio­cyanate (0.10 mol) in acetone (30 ml), and then stirred for 2 h. Then, the reaction mixture was refluxed for 30 min. After cooling to room temperature, a solution of 4-chloro­aniline (0.10 mol) in acetone (10 ml) was added and the solution refluxed for 3 h. After completion of the reaction (monitored by TLC), the reaction mixture was poured into acidified cold water. The solids separated were filtered under suction, washed thoroughly with water and dried under vacuum. Colourless crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of an aceto­nitrile solution. White solid, yield 85%, m.p. 445 K. IR (KBr) cm⁻¹: 3181 (N—H str.), 1164 (C=S str.) and 1690 (C=O str.).

6. Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 2 ▸. The NH hydrogen atoms were located from a difference-Fourier map and refined isotropically. The C-bound hydrogen-atom positions were calculated geometrically at distances of 0.93 Å (for aromatic CH) and 0.96 Å (for methyl CH) and refined using a riding model with U_iso(H) = k × U_eq (C, N), where k = 1.5 for methyl hydrogens and k = 1.2 for other H atoms.

N-Acetyl-N'-(4-chlorophenyl)thiourea . Special details

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
