The title compound, [systematic name: ethyl ({[3-(4-methylphenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl]amino}carbonothioyl)carbamate], C13H16N5O2S, exists in the 3-aryl-5-thioureido-1H-1,2,4-triazole tautomeric form. The molecular structure is stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonding (N—H⋯S=C between the endocyclic N-bound H atom and the thioureido S atom, and N—H⋯O=C within the ethoxycarbonylthiourea unit), both arranged in an S(6) graph-set motif. The mean planes of the phenyl and 1,2,4-triazole rings make a dihedral angle of 6.59 (10)°. In the the molecules form two types of centrosymmetric dimers connected by intermolecular hydrogen bonds; in the first, the N—NH triazole sides of two molecules are connected [R22(6) graph-set motif] and the second is an N—H⋯S=C interaction between the imide H atoms and the thiocarbonyl S atoms [R22(8) graph-set motif]. Together, they form a network parallel to the (111) plane.

The title compound (I) was synthesized by nucleophilic addition of 3(5)-amino-5(3)-(4-methylphenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole (Dolzhenko et al., 2009a) to ethoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate in DMF solution at room temperature (Fig. 3). Single crystals suitable for crystallographic analysis were grown by recrystallization from ethanol.
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 protons; 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.

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 > 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. |

Recently, we reported the crystal structure of N-carbethoxy-N'-(3-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)thiourea (Dolzhenko et al., 2010). Herein, in continuation of our investigations on annular tautomerism of 1,2,4-triazoles (Figs 3 and 4) in solutions (Dolzhenko et al., 2009a) and crystalline state (Dolzhenko et al., 2009b,c, 2010), we study the similar compound with methyl group presented in para-position of the phenyl ring. The electron donating effect of the methyl group might shift the tautomeric equilibrium towards the 5-aryl-3-thioureido-1H-1,2,4-triazole tautomeric form (Buzykin et al., 2006; Dolzhenko et al., 2009a). However, we found that this effect is not sufficient to alter the structure. Analogously to N-carbethoxy-N'-(3-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)thiourea (Dolzhenko et al., 2010), the title compound crystallizes with similar molecular structure (Fig. 1) and packing (Fig. 2). The N2—H···S1 hydrogen bonding between the endocyclic N(3)H proton of the triazole ring and the thioureido sulfur S1 atom (Fig.1 and Table 1) arranged in a S(6) graph-set motif (Bernstein et al., 1995) is believed to be an essential factor stabilizing the tautomer. The triazole ring is planar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0069 Å. It makes a dihedral angle of 6.59 (10)° with the phenyl ring. The C10—N4 bond is significantly shorter (1.3414 (16) Å) than other C—N bonds of the carbethoxythiourea group (1.384–1.385 Å). Similarly to the previously reported related structures (Dolzhenko et al., 2010; 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 carbethoxythiourea group of the title compound adopts (Z)-configuration across the thiourea C10—N4 bond and (E)-configuration across the C11—N5 bond. The strong intramolecular N4—H···O1═C11 hydrogen bonding arranged in common for carbethoxythioureas (Dolzhenko et al., 2010; Huang et al., 2009; Lin et al., 2007; Lin et al., 2004; Su et al., 2006; Zhang et al., 2007; Zhang et al., 2003) S(6) graph-set motif stabilizes this configuration.
In the crystal, the molecules form two types of centrosymmetric dimmers (Fig. 2, Table 1). The N3—N2H sides of two molecules are connected by intermolecular hydrogen bonds making the R22(6) graph-set motif. Atom N5 is also involved in the intermolecular N—H···S interaction with the thiocarbonyl atom S1 of adjacent molecule making another pair with the R22(8) graph-set motif similar to that observed in other carbethoxythioureas (Dolzhenko et al., 2010; 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.
