In the title compound, C11H14N2OS, the two N—H bonds are anti to each other and one of them is anti to the C=S and the other is syn. Further, the amide C=S and the C=O groups are anti to each other. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the side chain is 83.74 (5)°. An intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal, molecules are linked into inversion dimers by pairs of N—H⋯S interactions.

The 3-acetyl-1-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-thiourea was synthesized by adding a solution of acetyl chloride (0.10 mol) in acetone (30 ml) dropwise to a suspension of ammonium thiocyanate (0.10 mol) in acetone (30 ml). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 30 min. After cooling to room temperature, a solution of 2,6-dimethylaniline (0.10 mol) in acetone (10 ml) was added and refluxed for 3 h. The reaction mixture was poured into acidified cold water. The precipitated title compound was recrystallized to constant melting point from acetonitrile. The purity of the compound was checked and characterized by its IR spectrum. The characteristic absorptions observed are 3156.1 cm-1, 1698.1 cm-1, 1365.7 cm-1 and 710.4 cm-1 for the stretching bands of -N–H, -C═O, -C–N- and -C═S, respectively.
Prism like light yellow single crystals used in X-ray diffraction studies were grown in acetonitrile solution by slow evaporation of the solvent at room temperature.
The amino H atoms were freely refined with the N–H distances restrained to 0.86 (2)Å. H atoms bonded to C were positioned with idealized geometry using a riding model with the aromatic C–H = 0.93Å, methyl C–H = 0.96Å. All H atoms were refined with isotropic displacement parameters set at 1.2Ueq(C-aromatic, N) and 1.5Ueq(C-methyl) of the parent atom.
Thiourea and its derivatives are widely used as precursors or intermediates in synthetic organic chemistry. They exhibit a wide variety of biological activities. As part of our studies on the substituent effects on the structures and other aspects of N-(aryl)-amides (Gowda et al., 2006; Shahwar et al., 2012); N-(aryl)-methanesulfonamides (Gowda et al., 2007) and N-chloroarylsulfonamides (Gowda et al., 2005; Shetty & Gowda, 2004), in the present work, the
of 3-acetyl-1-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)thiourea has been determined (Fig. 1).The conformation of the two N–H bonds are anti to each other, and one of them is anti to the C═S and the other is syn in the urea moiety. Furthermore, the conformations of the amide C═S and the C═O are anti to each other, similar to the anti conformation observed in 3-acetyl-1-(2-methylphenyl)thiourea (Shahwar et al., 2012).
The side chain is oriented itself with respect to the phenyl ring with the torsion angles of C2-C1-N1-C7 = 94.77 (22)° and C6-C1-N1-C7 = -87.11 (23)°. The dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and the side chain is 83.74 (5)°.
The structure shows intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the hydrogen atom of the NH attached to the phenyl ring and the amide oxygen. In the crystal, the molecules form inversion type dimers through N–H···S intermolecular classical hydrogen bonds (Table 1, Fig. 2).

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 are widely used as precursors or intermediates in synthetic organic chemistry. They exhibit a wide variety of biological activities. As part of our studies on the substituent effects on the structures and other aspects of N-(aryl)-amides (Gowda et al., 2006; Shahwar et al., 2012); N-(aryl)-methanesulfonamides (Gowda et al., 2007) and N-chloroarylsulfonamides (Gowda et al., 2005; Shetty & Gowda, 2004), in the present work, the crystal structure of 3-acetyl-1-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)thiourea has been determined (Fig. 1).
The conformation of the two N–H bonds are anti to each other, and one of them is anti to the C═S and the other is syn in the urea moiety. Furthermore, the conformations of the amide C═S and the C═O are anti to each other, similar to the anti conformation observed in 3-acetyl-1-(2-methylphenyl)thiourea (Shahwar et al., 2012).
The side chain is oriented itself with respect to the phenyl ring with the torsion angles of C2-C1-N1-C7 = 94.77 (22)° and C6-C1-N1-C7 = -87.11 (23)°. The dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and the side chain is 83.74 (5)°.
The structure shows intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the hydrogen atom of the NH attached to the phenyl ring and the amide oxygen. In the crystal, the molecules form inversion type dimers through N–H···S intermolecular classical hydrogen bonds (Table 1, Fig. 2).
