Abstract

In the title compound, C11H13N3O3S, the benzene ring is twisted relative to the amidic fragment, forming a dihedral angle of 27.26 (9)°. The thiono and carbonyl groups are trans with respect to the C—N bond. Inter­molecular N—H⋯S and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules in the crystal structure.

Comment

The title compound, I, is a thiourea derivative analogous to our previously reported compounds (Al-abbasi & Kassim, 2011). Bond distances are similar to those usually found in other substituted thioureas [Nasir et al. (2011) & Pérez et al. (2011)]. The C–S and C–O exhibited the expected double-bond character. However, the C–N bond lengths are intermediate between a single and double, indicating a partial electron delocalization in the O1/C7/N1/C8/S1 fragment.

The phenyl ring is twisted due to the presence of the nitro group (O2O3N3) in ortho position. A rotation around C1—C7 bond makes the oxygen atom (O1) perpendicular to the phenyl ring mean planes and the torsion angles of C2C1C701 and C6C1C701 are -95.5 (2) and 86.5 (2)°, respectively. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the thiourea (S1/N1/N2/C8/C9) and the phenyl ring (C1/C2/C3/C4/C5/C6/) plane is 27.56 (10)°. Other bond lengths and angles are in normal ranges (Allen et al. 1987).

The crystal structure is stabilized by the intermolecular N1—H1A···S1 and C5—H5A···O3 hydrogen bonds linking the molecules into a dimer resulting in a channel along [101] (Fig. 2).

Experimental

The title compound was prepared according to a previously reported procedure (Al-abbasi et al., 2010). A very pale browon colour crystal, suitable for X-ray crystallography, was obtained by a slow evaporation from ethanol solution at room temperature (yield 78%).

Refinement

Hydrogen atom of the amide group was determined from the diffrence Fourrier map and N—H was initially fixed at 0.86(0.01) Å and allowed to be refined on the parent N atom with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N). All other H atoms were postioned geometrically with C—H bond lengths in the range 0.93 - 0.97 Å and refined in the riding model approximation with Uiso(H)=1.2Ueq(C,N), except for methyl group where Uiso(H)= 1.5Ueq(C).

Special details

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
