The title compound, C16H24N2OS, is twisted about the central N(H)—C bond with the C—N—C—S torsion angle being 119.6 (3)°. The carbonyl O and thione S atoms are directed to opposite sides of the molecule, a conformation that allows for the formation of a linear supramolecular chain comprising alternating eight-membered {⋯HNCS}2 and 14-membered {⋯HCNCNCO}2 synthons.

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 diisobutyl 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 for X-ray diffraction were grown at room temperature from an acetonitrile solution of the compound. Yield 72%; M.Pt. 415 K. FT—IR (KBr) ν(N—H) 3268, ν(C═O) 1688, ν(C=S) 1264 cm-1.
The H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (N—H = 0.88; C—H 0.93 to 0.98 Å) and were included in the
in the riding model approximation, with Uiso(H) set to 1.2 to 1.5Uequiv(N, C).Data collection: CrysAlis PRO (Agilent, 2010); 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 > 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. |

N,N-Dialkyl-N'-benzoylthioureas are versatile ligands which can coordinate to transition metal centres either as neutral species or in an anionic form. The complexation capacity of thiourea derivatives has been reported in several studies (Binzet et al., 2009; Gunasekaran et al., 2010). Chiral and achiral platinum(II) complexes of these ligands have been used as chemotherapeutic agents (Sacht et al., 2000) while cadmium(II) complexes of N,N-diethyl-N'-benzoylthiourea have been used as single-source precursors for the preparation of CdS nanoparticles (Bruce et al., 2007). In addition, thioureas have been shown to possess anti-tubercular, anti-helmintic, anti-bacterial, insecticidal and rodenticidal properties (Arslan et al., 2006). In continuation of structural studies of these derivatives (Gunasekaran et al., 2010a; Gunasekaran et al., 2010b), the title compound, (I), was investigated.
In (I), Fig. 1, the molecule exhibits a significant twist about the central N(H)–C bond as seen in the value of the C7–N1–C8–S1 torsion angle of 119.6 (3) °. This arrangement causes the carbonyl-O and thione-S atoms to lie on opposite sides of the molecule. Similarly, the carbonyl and N–H groups are directed away from each other. This conformation allows for the formation of N–H···S hydrogen bonds, Table 1, via an eight-membered {···HNCS}2 ring which has the shape of an elongated chair. These are connected into supramolecular chains along [1 1 1] via C–H···O contacts that close 14-membered {···HCNCNCO}2 synthons, also adopting the shape of an elongated chair, Table 1 and Fig. 2. Chains are arranged into layers via weak π···π interactions [Cg(C1–C6)···Cg(C1–C6)i = 3.806 (3) Å for i: 2 - x, 1 - y, 2 - z] and these stack as shown in Fig. 3.
