Abstract
In the title compound, C10H10Cl2N2OS, the molecule adopts a trans–cis conformation with respect to the position of the carbonyl group and the chlorophenyl groups relative to the thiono group across the C—N bonds. The molecule is stabilized by an N—H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H⋯S and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming zigzag chains along the b-axis direction. C—H⋯π interactions are also present.

1. Comment
There are not many halogenocarbonyl reported compare to other aroyl or alkoyl-thioureas. N-(4-chlorobutanoyl)-N'-phenylthiourea (Yamin et al., 2011), N-(4-chlorobutanoyl)-N'-(2-fluorophenyl)thiourea (Yusof et al., 2011) and N-(4-bromobutanoyl)-N'-phenylthiourea (Yamin & Othman, 2011) are some examples of halogenobutanoyl thiourea. The title compound is a 3-chloropropionyl thiourea similar to N-(3-chloropropionyl)-N'- phenylthiourea (Othman et al. 2010) except the presence of chlorine atom at the para-position of the phenyl ring.
The whole molecule is not planar (Fig. 1) because of the dihedral angle of 14.36 (12)° between chlorophenylamine, Cl2/(C5-C10)/N2, and thiourea C5/N2/C4/N1/S1 fragments. Both fragments are each planar with maximum deviation of 0.015 (3)Å for N2 atom from the least square plane of the thiourea fragment. The bond lengths and angles are in normal ranges (Allen et al. 1987). The molecule maintains trans-cis configuration with respect to the position of chloropropionyl and chlorophenyl against the thiono group about N1-C4 and N2-C4 bonds, respectively.
There is an intramolecular N2-H2A···O1 hydrogen bonds . In the crystal packing, the molecules are linked by N1-H1A···S1 and C9-H9A···O1 intermolecular hydrogen bonds (symmetry codes as in Table 1) to form zigzag linear chains extended along b axis (Fig. 2). In addition, there is also a C1-H1B···π bond with the centroid benzene ring Cg1, (C5-C10) (Table 2).
2. Experimental
4-chloroaniline (1.27 g, 0.01 mol) disolved in 30 ml of acetone was added into a solution of 3-chloropropionyl isothiocyanate (1.49 g, 0.01 mol) in 30 ml acetone. The mixture was refluxed for 2 hours. The solution was filtered and left to evaporate at room temperature. The white precipitate obtained after a few days, was washed with water and cold ethanol. The colorless crystals were obtained by recrystallization from ethanol.
3. Refinement
After location in the difference map, the H-atoms attached to the C and N atoms were fixed geometrically at ideal positions and allowed to ride on the parent atoms with C—H = 0.93-0.97 Å, N—H = 0.86 Å and with Uiso(H)=1.2Ueq(C or N).

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. |
| 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 > 2sigma(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. |
