In the title compound, C12H16N2OS, an intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond forms an S(6) ring motif. The propionylthiourea group is approximately planar [with a maximum deviation of 0.135 (2) Å] and forms a dihedral angle of 83.39 (7)° with the benzene ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked by pairs of N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming centrosymmetric dimers and generating R22(8) ring motifs.

To a stirring acetone solution (75 ml) of propionyl chloride (2.42 g, 0.03 mol) and ammonium thiocyanate (2.0 g, 0.03 mol), 2,6-dimethylaniline (3.64 g, 0.03 mol) in 40 ml of acetone was added dropwise. The mixture was refluxed reflux for 1 h. The resulting solution was poured into a beaker containing ice blocks. The white precipitate was filtered off and washed with distilled water and cold ethanol before being dried under vacuum. Good quality crystals were obtained by recrystallization from DMSO.
N-bound H atoms were located from the difference map and refined freely, [N–H = 0.85 (2) and 0.87 (2) Å]. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically [C–H = 0.95-0.99 Å] and refined using a riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5 Ueq(C). A rotating group model was applied to the methyl groups.
The title compound is analogous to N-propionylthiourea, (Yamin & Othman, 2008) except that the hydogen atom at the N terminal atom is replaced by a 2,6-dimethylphenyl group.
In the molecular structure (Fig. 1), an intramolecular N2—H1N2···O1 hydrogen bond (Table 1) generates an S(6) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). The propionylthiourea group (S1/N1/N2/O1/C1-C4) is approximately planar (with a maximum deviation of 0.135 (2)Å for C1) and forms a dihedral angle of 83.39 (7)° with the benzene ring (C5-C10). The bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges and are comparable to related structures (Usman et al., 2002; Sultana et al., 2007).
The crystal packing is shown in Fig. 2. The molecules are linked by pairs of intermolecular N1—H1N1···S1i hydrogen bonds (Table 1) to form dimers, generating R22(8) ring motifs (Bernstein et al., 1995).

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (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. |

The title compound is analogous to N-propionylthiourea, (Yamin & Othman, 2008) except that the hydogen atom at the N terminal atom is replaced by a 2,6-dimethylphenyl group.
In the molecular structure (Fig. 1), an intramolecular N2—H1N2···O1 hydrogen bond (Table 1) generates an S(6) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). The propionylthiourea group (S1/N1/N2/O1/C1-C4) is approximately planar (with a maximum deviation of 0.135 (2)Å for C1) and forms a dihedral angle of 83.39 (7)° with the benzene ring (C5-C10). The bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges and are comparable to related structures (Usman et al., 2002; Sultana et al., 2007).
The crystal packing is shown in Fig. 2. The molecules are linked by pairs of intermolecular N1—H1N1···S1i hydrogen bonds (Table 1) to form dimers, generating R22(8) ring motifs (Bernstein et al., 1995).
