Abstract: In the title compound [systematic name: 1-(2,2-dimethylpropionyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)thiourea], C₁₂H₁₅N₃O₃S, the molecule exists in the thione form with typical thiourea C-S and C-O bonds, as well as shortened C-N bond lengths. The planes containing the thiourea N atoms form dihedral angles of 27.12 (7) and 1.6 (2)°, respectively, with the benzene ring. The molecule exhibits only an intramolecular N-HO hydrogen bond and no intermolecular N-HS hydrogen bonds. This is in contrast to the usual behaviour of this class of compounds.
