The title compound {systematic name: ethyl N-[N-(3-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)carbamothioyl]carbamate}, C12H13N5O2S, exists in the 3-phenyl-5-thioureido-1H-1,2,4-triazole tautomeric form stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the endocyclic NH H atom and the thioureido S atom. The molecular structure is also stabilized by intramolecular N—H⋯O=C hydrogen bonds arranged in an S(6) graph-set motif within the carbethoxythiourea moiety. The mean planes of the phenyl and 1,2,4-triazole rings make a dihedral angle of 7.61 (11)°. In the crystal, the molecules form two types of inversion dimers. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds are arranged in R22(6) and R22(8) graph-set motifs, together forming a network parallel to (111).

The title compound was synthesized by nucleophilic addition of 3(5)-amino-5(3)-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole (Dolzhenko et al., 2007) to ethoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate in DMF solution at room temperature (Figure 1). Single crystals suitable for crystallographic analysis were grown by recrystallization from toluene.
All the H atoms attached to the carbon atoms were constrained in a riding motion approximation [0.95 Å for Caryl—H, 0.99 Å for methylenic protons and 0.98 Å for methyl group; Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(Caryl), Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(Cmethylenic) and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl)] while the N-bound H atoms were located in a difference map and refined freely.
Annular
of 1,2,4-triazoles in solutions (Dolzhenko et al., 2009a) and crystalline state (Dolzhenko et al., 2009b,c) is a subject of our continuous investigations. Recently, we reported the of 3(5)-amino-5(3)-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole (Dolzhenko et al., 2009b). Both 3-amino-5-phenyl- and 5-amino-3-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole tautomeric forms were found to coexist in the crystal. Herein we study the related structure with carbethoxythiourea moiety presented instead of the amino group. Due to annular there is theoretical possibility for existence of three tautomeric forms viz. N-carbethoxy-N'-(3-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)thiourea (A), N-carbethoxy-N'-(5-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)thiourea (B) and N-carbethoxy-N'-(3-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)thiourea (C) (Figure 2). Unlike 3(5)-amino-5(3)-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole, only one tautomeric form A was identified in the crystal (Figure 3). The N3—H···S1 hydrogen bonds between the endocyclic N(3)H proton of the triazole ring and the thioureido sulfur S1 atom (Figure 3 and 4, Table 1) are arranged in a S(6) graph-set motif (Bernstein et al., 1995) stabilizing this tautomer. Interestingly, structurally similar carbethoxythioureido substituted pyrazole (Huang et al., 2009) does not possess this motif and crystallizes as a tautomer with the carbethoxythiourea moiety at position 5 of the ring.The triazole ring is essentially planar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0058 Å. Its mean plane makes a dihedral angle of 7.61 (11)° with the phenyl ring.
The C—N bonds of the thiourea group have unequal lengths: the C9—N4 bond is significantly shorter (1.3440 (18) Å) compare to the C9—N5 bond (1.3811 (18) Å). The configuration of the carbethoxythiourea group of the title compound is similar to those reported for the similar structures (Huang et al., 2009; Lin et al., 2007; Lin et al., 2004; Su et al., 2006; Zhang et al., 2007; Zhang et al., 2003). The triazole ring and the thiocarbonyl lie in (Z)-configuration across the thiourea C9—N4 bond; while the carbethoxy and thiocarbonyl groups adopt (E)-configuration across the C9—N5 bond. This configuration is stabilized by an intramolecular N4—H···O2═C10 hydrogen bond (Figure 3 and 4, Table 1) making a S(6)graph-set motif, which is common for carbethoxythioureas (Huang et al., 2009; Lin et al., 2007; Lin et al., 2004; Su et al., 2006; Zhang et al., 2007; Zhang et al., 2003).
In the crystal, the molecules form two types of cyclic dimmers (Figure 4, Table 1). The N2—N3H sides of two molecules are connected by intermolecular hydrogen bonds making the R22(6) graph-set motif. Atom N5 is also involved in intermolecular N—H···S interactions with the thiocarbonyl atom S1 of adjacent molecule making another pair with the R22(8) graph-set motif similar to those observed in other carbethoxythioureas (Huang et al., 2009; Lin et al., 2007; Lin et al., 2004; Su et al., 2006; Zhang et al., 2007; Zhang et al., 2003). Together, these hydrogen bonds connect molecules in a network parallel to the (111) plane.

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 > 2σ(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. |

Annular tautomerism of 1,2,4-triazoles in solutions (Dolzhenko et al., 2009a) and crystalline state (Dolzhenko et al., 2009b,c) is a subject of our continuous investigations. Recently, we reported the crystal structure of 3(5)-amino-5(3)-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole (Dolzhenko et al., 2009b). Both 3-amino-5-phenyl- and 5-amino-3-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole tautomeric forms were found to coexist in the crystal. Herein we study the related structure with carbethoxythiourea moiety presented instead of the amino group. Due to annular tautomerism, there is theoretical possibility for existence of three tautomeric forms viz. N-carbethoxy-N'-(3-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)thiourea (A), N-carbethoxy-N'-(5-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)thiourea (B) and N-carbethoxy-N'-(3-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)thiourea (C) (Figure 2). Unlike 3(5)-amino-5(3)-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole, only one tautomeric form A was identified in the crystal (Figure 3). The N3—H···S1 hydrogen bonds between the endocyclic N(3)H proton of the triazole ring and the thioureido sulfur S1 atom (Figure 3 and 4, Table 1) are arranged in a S(6) graph-set motif (Bernstein et al., 1995) stabilizing this tautomer. Interestingly, structurally similar carbethoxythioureido substituted pyrazole (Huang et al., 2009) does not possess this motif and crystallizes as a tautomer with the carbethoxythiourea moiety at position 5 of the ring.
The triazole ring is essentially planar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0058 Å. Its mean plane makes a dihedral angle of 7.61 (11)° with the phenyl ring.
The C—N bonds of the thiourea group have unequal lengths: the C9—N4 bond is significantly shorter (1.3440 (18) Å) compare to the C9—N5 bond (1.3811 (18) Å). The configuration of the carbethoxythiourea group of the title compound is similar to those reported for the similar structures (Huang et al., 2009; Lin et al., 2007; Lin et al., 2004; Su et al., 2006; Zhang et al., 2007; Zhang et al., 2003). The triazole ring and the thiocarbonyl lie in (Z)-configuration across the thiourea C9—N4 bond; while the carbethoxy and thiocarbonyl groups adopt (E)-configuration across the C9—N5 bond. This configuration is stabilized by an intramolecular N4—H···O2═C10 hydrogen bond (Figure 3 and 4, Table 1) making a S(6)graph-set motif, which is common for carbethoxythioureas (Huang et al., 2009; Lin et al., 2007; Lin et al., 2004; Su et al., 2006; Zhang et al., 2007; Zhang et al., 2003).
In the crystal, the molecules form two types of cyclic dimmers (Figure 4, Table 1). The N2—N3H sides of two molecules are connected by intermolecular hydrogen bonds making the R22(6) graph-set motif. Atom N5 is also involved in intermolecular N—H···S interactions with the thiocarbonyl atom S1 of adjacent molecule making another pair with the R22(8) graph-set motif similar to those observed in other carbethoxythioureas (Huang et al., 2009; Lin et al., 2007; Lin et al., 2004; Su et al., 2006; Zhang et al., 2007; Zhang et al., 2003). Together, these hydrogen bonds connect molecules in a network parallel to the (111) plane.
