The title molecule, C16H24N2OS, is twisted about the central N(H)—C bond with a C—N(H)—C—N torsion angle of −62.67 (15)°. The carbonyl group is twisted out of the plane of the benzene ring, forming a C—C—C=O torsion angle of −25.06 (17)°. In the crystal, molecules related by centres of symmetry are linked by pairs of intermolecular N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming eight-membered {⋯HNCS}2 synthons. These are further connected by weak via C—H⋯O contacts, forming a two-dimensional array in the bc plane.

A solution of benzoyl chloride (0.7029 g, 5 mmol) in acetone (50 ml) was added drop wise to a suspension of potassium thiocyanate (0.4859 g, 5 mmol) in anhydrous acetone (50 ml). The reaction mixture was heated under reflux for 45 min and then cooled to room temperature. A solution of dibutyl amine (0.6462 g, 5 mmol) in acetone (30 ml) was added and the resulting mixture was stirred for 2 h. Hydrochloric acid (0.1 N, 300 ml) was added and the resulting white solid was filtered, washed with water and dried in vacuo. Single crystals of (I) for X-ray diffraction were grown at room temperature from its acetone solution. M. pt. 358–360 K; Yield 76%. FT—IR (KBr) ν(N—H) 3174, ν(C═O) 1688, ν(C═S) 1243 cm-1.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.95 to 0.99 Å) and were included in the
in the riding model approximation, with Uiso(H) set to 1.2 to 1.5Uequiv(C). The N-bound H-atom was located in a difference Fourier map, and was refined with a distance restraint of N–H 0.86±0.01 Å; the Uiso value was freely refined.Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2008); cell

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. |

Thiourea and its derivatives have important pharmaceutical applications (Binzet et al., 2009; Lipowska et al., 1996). These species are also considered as versatile and attractive ligands due to their coordination ability to a wide range of metal centres, either as neutral ligands, or as mono- or di-anions (Henderson et al., 2002; Hallale et al., 2005). Their coordination complexes can also exhibit useful properties. As an example of a recent application, ruthenium(III) complexes containing these ligands have recently been used as catalysts for oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl compounds (Gunasekaran & Karvembu, 2010). In continuation of structural studies of these molecules (Gunasekaran et al., 2010a; Gunasekaran et al., 2010b), (I), the crystal structure of the title compound was carried out.
In (I), the molecule is twisted about the central N1—C8 bond as reflected in the value of the C7—N1—C8—S1 torsion angle of 119.81 (11) ° and C7—N1—C8—-N2 of -62.67 (15) ° (see Fig. 1). The carbonyl group is twisted out of the plane of the benzene ring to which it is attached [the C2—C1—C7—O1 dihedral angle = -25.06 (17) °], and the butyl groups lie on opposite sides of the mean plane formed by the N2S atoms.
The most prominent intermolecular interactions are of the type N—H···S, occurring between centrosymmetrically related molecules to form an eight-membered {···HNCS}2 synthon, Table 1. The dimeric aggregates are linked into a 2-D array via C—H···O contacts, Fig. 2 and Table 1. The layers thus formed stack along the a axis, Fig. 3.
