In the title compound, C12H6N4O8S, the dinitrophenyl rings subtend an angle of 78.46 (13) °. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds leading to the formation of a two-dimensional network lying parallel to the bc plane.

Analytical grade 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (2.02 g, 0.01 mol) dissolved in ethanol (20 ml) and 2-thiobarbituricacid (1.44 g, 0.01 mol) dissolved in ethanol (20 ml) were mixed. Triethylamine (5 g,0.05 mol) was then added and the mixture was shaken well for 5–6 hrs. On standing yellow crystals came out from the solution after 5 days. The crystals were filtered and washed well with ether to remove the unreacted reactants and then with a small amount of absolute alcohol. The crystals were recrystallized from ethanol (M.pt: 467 K; yield: 70%). Good quality single crystals for X-ray diffraction studies were obtained by slow evaporation of a solution in ethanol at room temperature.
All the H atoms were included in calculated positions and treated as riding: C—H = 0.93 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
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. |

The title sulfur containing organic compound is a biologically active molecule (Andricopulo et al., 2006). It has been utilized in many clinical trials (Nakadate et al., 1964; Alekhina et al., 1978) and also employed in the synthesis of a number of other important organic molecules (Parihar et al., 1971; Evans & Kinnard, 1983). Several methods have been reported for the synthesis of the title molecule (Pesin et al., 1963; Joshi & Mathur, 1963; Obata et al., 1966; Stepanov et al., 1974; Davydov & Beletskaya, 2003). In continuation of our previous work to synthesize new substituted barbiturates when 2-thiobarbituric acid is used (Manickkam & Kalaivani, 2011; Rajamani & Kalaivani, 2012) , the title molecule was obtained crystallizing out as the product through a new synthetic route.
In the title molecule (Fig. 1) the two phenyl rings are inclined to one another by 78.46 (13) °.
In the crystal, there are a number of weak C—H···O hydrogen bonds linking the molecules to form a two-dimensional network lying parallel to the bc plane (Table 1 and Fig. 2).
