In the title compound, C15H15N3OS, the thiosemicarbazone group adopts an E configuration with respect to the C=N bond. The benzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone fragment is almost planar [maximum deviation = 0.012 (1) Å], while the dihedral angle between the benzyloxy and phenyl rings is 72.48 (5)°. In the molecules are interconnected by N—H⋯N and N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to the bc plane and are further stacked along the a axis by π–π interactions [centroid–centroid separation 3.9043 (7) Å]. The is also stabilized by C—H⋯π interactions.

The title compound was synthesized by adding a solution of 4-benzyloxybenzaldehyde (2.12 g, 10 mmol) in ethanol (30 ml) to a hot solution of thiosemicarbazide (0.91 g, 10 mmol) in ethanol (100 ml). The mixture was refluxed for 2 hrs and subsequently cooled to room temperature. The light yellow precipitate of the title compound was separated by filtration, washed with ethanol and dried in vacuo over anhydrous CaCl2. (Yield: 1.75 g, 61%), and was then dissolved in chloroform (0.11 g in 50 ml) and allowed to stand at room temperature (288–293 K) for 20 days. Yellow single crystals of the title compound were obtained after recrystallization from a solution of chloroform/toluene (30:7 v/v) after 12 days at room temperature, M.p 446 K.
H atoms bound to N atoms were located from a difference Fourier map and refined freely with isotropic displacement parameters. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with d(C—H) = 0.93 Å, for aromatic, 0.97 Å, for CH2 and Uiso = 1.2Ueq(C). The highest residual electron density peak is located at 0.69 Å from C8 and the deepest hole is located at 1.19 Å from C12.

Experimental. The low-temperature data was collected with the Oxford Cyrosystem Cobra low-temperature attachment. |
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. |

The chemistry of thiosemicarbazones have been of immense interest because these compounds provide intriguing chelating patterns, profound biomedical properties, structural diversity and ion-sensing abilities (Al-Awadi et al., 2008; Amoedo et al., 2006; Demertzi et al., 2007; Mirsha et al., 2006; Kizilcikli et al., 2004). Compounds of this type have been used as antibacterial, antifungal and antitumor agents (Sing et al., 2001; Offiong et al., 1997). Due to their long chain structure, they are very flexible and form linkages with a variety of metal ions (Chandra et al., 2001). It was advocated that their flexibility and bioactivity arise because of the presence of the imino group (–N=CH–) in addition to thioamino moities present in the skeleton of the molecule. The title thiosemicarbazone derivative (I) was synthesized and its crystal structure is reported here. (I) is likely to have biomedical properties similar to other nitrogen-sulfur donor ligands studied by our group.
In the title compound (Fig. 1), the thiosemicarbazone adopts an E conformation with a trans configuration observed about the C═N bond. The benzaldehydethiosemicarbazone fragment is almost planar, maximum deviation 0.012 (1) Å, with the dihedral angle between the hydrazinecarbothioamide unit (S1/N1/N2/N3/C15) and the C8–C13 phenyl ring being 6.59 (5)°. The orientation of the 4-benzyloxy group is indicated by the dihedral angle between the 4-benzyloxy and the C8–C13 phenyl rings being 72.48 (5)Å and the torsion angle C8–O1–C7–C6 of 165.49 (9)°. The C15═S1 and C15—N2 bond distances are typical of a C/db S double bond and a C—N single bond, respectively. The bond lengths and angles in (I) are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987) and show similar trends to those of previously reported thiosemicarbazones (John et al., 2003; Joseph et al., 2004). An intramolecular N3-H1N3···N1 hydrogen bond forms a five-membered N3-H1N3-N1—N2—C15 ring, producing an S(5) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995).
In the crystal packing (Fig. 2), molecules are interconnected by N—H···N and N—H···S hydrogen bonds (Table 1) into a two-dimensional network parallel to the bc plane and are further stacked along the a-axis by π···π interactions with the distances of Cg1···Cg2 = 3.9043 (7) Å: symmetry code x, 1/2 - y, -1/2 + z; Cg1 and Cg2 are the centroids of the C1–C6 and C8–C13 phenyl rings, respectively. The crystal also stabilized by C—H···π interactions (Table 1) involving the C1–C6 phenyl ring (centroid Cg1).
