The molecule of the title compound, C12H10N4O4S, is slightly twisted, with a dihedral angle of 8.23 (9)° between the benzene and thiophene rings. One nitro group is co-planar [O—N—C—C torsion angles = −0.5 (3) and −1.9 (3)°] whereas the other is slightly twisted with respect to the benzene ring [O—N—C—C torsion angles = −5.1 (3) and −5.7 (3)°]. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by weak C—H⋯O interactions into screw chains along the b axis. The molecular conformation is consolidated by an intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond.

The title compound was synthesized by dissolving 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (0.40 g, 2 mmol) in ethanol (10 ml) and H2SO4 (conc.) (98%, 0.5 ml) was slowly added with stirring. Then 2-acetylthiophene (0.20 ml, 2 mmol) was added to the solution with continuous stirring. The solution was refluxed for 30 min yielding an orange-red solid, which was filtered off and washed with methanol. Orange block-shaped single crystals of the title compound suitable for X-ray
were recrystalized from ethanol by slow evaporation of the solvent at room temperature over several days. Mp. 516–518 K.The H atom attached to N2 was located in a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with d(C—H) = 0.93 Å for aromatic and 0.96 Å for CH3 atoms. The Uiso values were constrained to be 1.5Ueq of the
for methyl H atoms and 1.2Ueq for the remaining H atoms. A rotating group model was used for the methyl groups. The highest residual electron density peak is located at 0.97 Å from S1 and the deepest hole is located at 0.67 Å from S1.Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2009); cell

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 120.0 (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. |

Hydrazones are an important class of compounds which are used in numerous biological and pharmacological applications as insecticidal, antitumor, antioxidant, antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral and antituberculosis compounds (Bedia et al., 2006; El-Tabl et al., 2008; Ramamohan et al., 1995; Rollas & Küçükgüzel, 2007). Several of them also exhibit good nonlinear optical properties (Baughman et al., 2004). In our previous studies we reported the syntheses and crystal structures of some hydrazone derivatives (Chantrapromma et al., 2010; Fun et al., 2010; Jansrisewangwong et al., 2010). The title compound (I) was synthesized as part of our on going research on biological activities of hydrazones.
The molecule of (I), (Fig. 1), is slightly twisted with the dihedral angle between the benzene and thiophene rings of 8.23 (9)°. The middle ethylidinehydrazine unit (N1/N2/C7/C12) is planar with the r.m.s. 0.0033 (2) Å and the torsion angle N2–N1–C7–C12 = -1.1 (3)°. This N—N=C—C bridge makes dihedral angles of 6.62 (11) and 2.14 (12)° with the benzene and thiophene rings, respectively. The nitro group at atom C2 is co-planar [torsion angles O1–N3–C2–C1 = -0.5 (3)° and O2–N3–C2–C3 = -1.9 (3)°] whereby that at atom C4 is slightly twisted with respect to the benzene ring [torsion angles O3–N4–C4–C3 = -5.1 (3)° and O4–N4–C4–C5 = -5.7 (3)°]. The bond distances are of normal values (Allen et al., 1987) and comparable with those found in related structures (Jansrisewangwong et al., 2010; Shan et al., 2008).
In the crystal structure (Fig. 2), the molecules are linked by C—H···O weak interactions (Table 1) into screw chains along the b axis. The molecular conformation is consolidated by an intramolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonding interaction (Table 1). C···Niii, iv[3.219 (3)–3.232 (3) Å], C···Oiii, v,vi[3.099 (3)–3.187 (2) Å] and N···Ovii[2.971 (2) Å] short contacts are also observed [symmetry codes: (iii) x, 1/2 - y, -1/2 + z; (iv) 1 + x, 1/2 - y, -1/2 + z; (v) 1 - x, 1/2 + y, 3/2 - z; (vi) 1 + x, y, -1 + z and (vii) 1 - x, 1 - y, 2 - z].
