In the title compound, C14H14N2O2S, the dihedral angles between the thiourea group and the methoxyphenyl and hydroxyphenyl rings are 61.91 (4) and 76.90 (4)°, respectively. The benzene rings are twisted with respect to each other, making a dihedral angle of 71.03 (4)°. The H atoms of the thiourea NH groups are positioned anti to each other. In the crystal, intermolecular N—H⋯S, N—H⋯O and O—H⋯S hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a three-dimensional network.

3-Methoxyphenyl isothiocyanate and 3-aminophenol were purchased from Sigma Chemical Co. Solvents used for organic synthesis were distilled before use. All other chemicals and solvents were of analytical grade and were used without further purification. The title compound was prepared from the reaction of 3-methoxyphenyl isothiocyanate (0.2 g, 1.0 mmol) with 3-aminophenol (0.2 g, 1.2 mmol) in acetonitrile (6 ml) under stirring. The reaction was completed within 1 h at room temperature. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the product washed with dichloromethane. Removal of the solvent gave a white solid (91%; m.p. 401 K). Colourless crystals were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethanol solution at room temperature.
H atoms of the NH and OH groups were located in a difference Fourier map and refined freely [refined distances; N—H = 0.81 (2)-0.83 (2) Å, O—H = 0.90 (2) Å]. Other H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.93 or 0.96 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(carrier C) for aromatic or 1.5Ueq(carrier C) for methyl H atoms

Tyrosinase, a multifunctional copper-containing enzyme, is widely distributed in nature. It is the key enzyme in the undesirable browning of fruits and vegetables, and coloring of skin, hair, and eyes in animals (Kubo et al., 2000). Its inhibition is one of the major strategies in developing new whitening agents. Numerous potential tyrosinase inhibitors have been discovered from natural and synthetic sources, such as ascorbic acid (Kojima et al., 1995), kojic acid (Cabanes et al., 1994), and tropolone (Son et al., 2000; Iida et al., 1995). But some of their individual activities are either not potent enough to be considered of practical use or not compatible with safety regulations for food and cosmetic additives. In our continuing search for tyrosinase inhibitors, we have synthesized the title compound from the reaction of 3-methoxyphenyl-isothiocyanate and 3-aminophenol under ambient conditions. Here, its structure is described (Fig. 1).
The 3-methoxyphenyl and 3-hydroxyphenyl moieties are almost planar with r.m.s. deviations of 0.008 and 0.016 Å, respectively, from the corresponding least-squares planes defined by the eight constituent atoms. The dihedral angles between thiourea moiety (N7···N10) and two benzene groups, C1···N7 and N10···C16, are 61.91 (4) and 76.90 (4)°, respectively. And two benzene groups are twisted to each other with the dihedral angle of 71.03 (4)°. The H7 and H10 atoms of the thiourea NH groups are positioned anti to each other (Fig. 1). The presence of intermolecular N7—H7···S9i, N10—H10···O17ii and O19—H19···S9iii [symmetry codes: (i) -x+1, -y+1, -z+1, (ii) -x, -y+1, -z, (iii) -x, -y, -z+1] hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a three-dimensional network (Fig. 2 and Table 1). The thiourea-S9 accepts two hydrogen bonds, each from NH and OH groups.
