The molecule of the title compound, C16H16N2OS, is not planar; the two aromatic rings are inclined to one another by 37.59 (9)°. There are intramolecular hydrogen bonds between the benzoyl O atom and the H atom of the thioamide N atom, and between the thiourea S atom and the H atom of the tolyl group. These hydrogen bonds stabilize the molecule in such a way that the thiourea group adopts a trans–cis geometry. In the molecules are linked by N—H⋯S intermolecular hydrogen bonds, forming centrosymmetric dimers.

2-methylbenzoyl chloride (9.720 g, 0.025mole) was mixed with an equimolar amount of ammonium thiocyanate (1.903 g, 0.025 mol) and 3-methyl aniline (2.701 g, 0.025 mol) in 45 ml dry acetone. The mixture was refluxed with stirring for 4 h. The solution was then filtered and left to evaporate at room temperature. Colourless crystals, suitable for X-ray aanalysis, were obtained after a few days (Yield 85%).
NH and C-bound H atoms were positioned geometrically and constrained to ride on their parent atoms: N—H = 0.86 and C—H = 0.93 - 0.96 Å, with Uiso(H)= 1.2Ueq(CH and NH), and 1.5Ueq(CH3).

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
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 title compound, (I), is analogus to 1-(2,3-Dimethylphenyl)-3-(2-methylbenzoyl)thiourea (II) (Khawar Rauf et al., 2007), but with the 2,3-dimethyl phenyl group replaced by a 2-methyl phenyl (m-tolyl) group (Fig. 1). The molecule maintains the trans-cis configuration with respect to the position of the methyl benzoyl and 3-methyl benzene groups, respectively, relative to the thiono S1 atom. The bond lengths and angles are in normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). The central thiourea moiety, S1/N1/N2/C9, the 2-methylbenzoyl ring, (C1—C8), and the m-tolyl group (C10—C15,C16) are all relatively planar, with a maximum deviation from any best mean plane of 0.015 (2) Å for atom C10. The central thiourea moiety makes dihedral angles with the 2-methylbenzoyl and m-tolyl fragments of 49.61 (7) and 17.87 (9)°, respectively. The trans-cis geometry of the thiourea moiety is stabilized by N2—H2A···O1, C7—H7C···O1 and C15—H15A···S1 intramolecular hydrogen bonds (Table 1).
In the crystal structure of (I), symmetry related molecules are linked by the N1—H1A···S1 intermolecular hydrogen bonds (Table 1) to form cenntrosymmetric dimers (Fig 2).
