In the title compound, C14H21N3OS, intermolecular N—H⋯O interactions generate ten-membered rings with R22(10) ring motifs, whereas N—H⋯S interactions generate eight, 14- and 16-membered rings with R22(8), R44(14) and R44(16) ring motifs, respectively. There are weak intramolecular N—H⋯π interactions which might influence the conformation of the molecule. The compound has a stereogenic center but the is centrosymmetic so the molecule exists as a racemate.

A mixture of 2-[2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propanoyl]hydrazine (0.01 mole), potassium thiocyanate (1.9 g, 0.02 mole), conc. HCl (1 ml) and water (20 ml) was refluxed for 3 h. On cooling the solid obtained was collected by filtration, washed with water and dried. Crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained from ethanol by slow evaporation (Yield 62%; m.p. 447 K).
N-bound hydrogen atoms were located from the difference Fourier map and refined freely; see Table 1. The rest of the hydrogen atoms were positioned geometrically and constrained to refine with the parent atoms with C—H = 0.93–1.00 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5 Ueq(C). A rotating group model was used for the methyl groups.

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1) K. |
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. |

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen are widely used in the treatment of pain and inflammation (Kawail et al., 2005; Klasser & Epstein, 2005).In fact, prolonged use of NSAIDs, for example ibuprofen, has been associated with gastrointestinal complications (Kean & Buchanan, 2005). Therefore, synthetic approaches based upon NSAIDs chemical modification have been undertaken with the aim of improving the NSAID safety profile. The utilization of prodrugs to temporarily mask the acidic group of NSAIDs has been proposed as an approach to reduce or suppress the GI toxicity due to the direct contact effect and also to increase their absorption values (Nielsen & Bundgaard, 1988). Ester prodrugs of ibuprofen have been synthesized with this aim (Khan & Akhter, 2005). Ester prodrugs of ibuprofen were synthesized and found to have anti-inflammatory, analgesic and ulcerogenic activities (Zhao et al., 2006). Due to these reasons, we have synthesized the thiosemicarbazide analogue of ibuprofen and report its crystal structure.
The title compound, I, Fig. 1, comprises a single molecule in the asymmetric unit. Intermolecular N—H···O interactions generate ten-membered rings producing R22(10) ring motifs, whereas N—H···S interactions generate eight, fourteen, sixteen rings producing R22(8), R44(14) and R44(16) ring motifs, respectively. (Fig.2) (Bernstein et al., 1995). There is a weak intramolecular N—H···π interaction (Table 1, Cg1 is the centroid of the C1–C6 benzene ring). The compound has a stereogenic center at C7 but the space group is centrosymmetic so the molecule exists as a racemate.
