Abstract

In the title compound, C13H18N2O2S, the 4-meth­oxy­benzoyl fragment is approximately planar [maximum deviation = 0.057 (2) Å] and twisted relative to the thio­amide fragment, forming a dihedral angle of 86.62 (6)°. The two Csp 2—Nsp 2 bonds in the thio­urea unit differ significantly in length [1.327 (2) and 1.431 (2) Å]. In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains parallel to [010].

Comment

The title compound (I) has been used as a ligand to form stable complexes with Ni and Co (Mohamadou et al., 1994). Compund I and other similar derivatives act as a bidentate (O,S) chelate forming square planar and tetrahedral complexes with NiII and CoIII, respectively.

In the structure of I, the 4-methoxybenzamide moiety [O2/N1/C1/C2/C3/C4/C5/C6/C7/C8/C13] (A) and the thiourea fragment [S1/N1/N2/C8] (B) are essentially planar with maximum deviations from the mean planes 0.057 (2) Å for C13 and -0.031 (2) Å N1. The dihedral angle between the A and B planes is 86.62 (6)°, which is slightly smaller than the analogous dihedral angle [87.99 (11)°] in 1-benzoyl-3-ethyl-3-phenylthiourea (II) (Al-abbasi & Kassim, 2011).

The C=O [1.237 (2) Å] and C=S [1.658 (3) Å] bond lengths are slightly longer than those in II [1.207 (3) and 1.666 (2) Å, respectively].

In the crystal, the molecules are stabilized by intermolecular N1—H1A···O1 hydrogen bonds forming a one-dimensional polymeric network along the b axis (Figure 2).

Experimental

A solution of benzoyl chloride (10 mmol) in acetone was added slowly to an equimolar solution of ammonium thiocyanate in acetone. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature before adding diethylamine (10 mmol) slowly and the mixture was left stirring at room temperature for 2–3 h. The mixture was poured onto a water-ice, filtered and the residue was recrystallized from ethaaol/acetone solution to give colourless crystals, suitable for X-ray crystallography (yield 85%).

Refinement

The hydrogen atom positions were calculated geometrically and refined in a riding model approximation with C–H bond lengths in the range 0.93–0.97 Å and N-H= 0.86 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C, N) for N-H, aromatic C-H and CH2 groups, and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl group.

Special details

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) with a nominal stability of 0.1 K.Cosier, J. & Glazer, A.M., 1986. J. Appl. Cryst. 105 107.
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.
