(Received 22 March 2010; accepted 14 April 2010; online 24 April 2010)

The title compound, C12H9ClN2OS2, exists in the thio­amide form with an intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond across the thio­urea and the carbonyl group. The dihedral angle between the rings is 10.36 (11)°. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules are linked into chains by weak inter­molecular C—H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding inter­actions.

Comment top

Thiourea and its derivatives are an important class of organic compounds in which sulfur is the major ligand atom which plays an important role in coordination chemistry with transition metals. Thiourea and its derivatives have found extensive applications in the fields of medicine, agriculture and analytical chemistry. Thioureas are also known to exhibit a wide range of biological activities including anticancer (Saeed et al., 2010), antifungal (Saeed et al., 2008), antiviral, antibacterial, anti-tubercular, anti-thyroidal, herbicidal and insecticidal activities, organocatalyst (Gu et al., 2007) and as agrochemicals (Xu et al., 2004).

The 4-chlorophenyl ring is slightly twisted {15.04 (8)°} from the thiourea plane. The thioureido group is also slightly twisted {5.0 (1)°} from the thiophene ring plane of S2/C9/C10/C11/C12. The molecular packing (Fig. 2) exhibits the thioamide form with an intramolecular N–H···O hydrogen bond across the thiourea system, with a N1–H1N···O1 (Table 1). The crystal packing (Fig. 2) is stabilized by weak intermolecular C–H···Cl hydrogen bonds between the thiophene H atom and the chlorine of an adjacent molecule, with a C12–H12···Cl1i (Table 1).

Experimental top

A solution of 2-thiophenecarbonyl chloride (0.01 mol) in anhydrous acetone (80 ml) was added dropwise to a suspension of ammonium thiocyanate (0.01 mol) in anhydrous acetone (50 ml) and the reaction mixture was refluxed for 50 minutes. After cooling to room temperature, a solution of 4-chloroaniline (0.01 mol) in dry acetone (25 ml) was added and the resulting mixture refluxed for 2 h. The reaction mixture was poured into five times its volume of cold water, upon which the thiourea precipitated. The product was recrystallized from ethanol as white block crystals.

Refinement top

The H atoms bound C atoms were located from difference Fourier map and refined freely. All H atoms of C atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C–H = 0.93 Å for aryl and thiophenyl H atoms. Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aryl thiophenyl H atoms.

Special details top

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.
