Abstract: In the title compound, C₈H₁₀N₂S, the o-tolyl group and the thiourea core are planar. The mean planes of the two groups are almost perpendicular [82.19 (8)°]. The thiourea group is in the thioamide form, in which resonance is present. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked by intermolecular N-HS hydrogen bonds, forming two infinite chains parallel to the (110) and (1 $\\overline{1}$ 0) planes.
