The title compound, C15H14N2OS2, adopts a helix conformation. An intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond leads to a six-membered pseudo-ring [r.m.s. deviation = 0.0212 Å, maximum deviation = 0.033 (1) Å for the N atom bearing the benzoyl group] in the central unit. The benzene and (methylsulfanyl)benzene ring [r.m.s = 0.0028 Å and largest deviation of 0.067 (3) Å for the methylsulfanyl C atom] make dihedral angles of 31.76 (8) and 54.68 (6)°, respectively, with the pseudo-ring plane. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 85.71 (8)°. In the crystal, pairs of weak N—H⋯S interactions form inversion dimers and mediate a linear chain along [001].

The procedure employed for synthesis of the title compound was described by Zhang et al. (2001). Benzoyl chloride (11 mmol) was added to a solution of ammonium thiocyanate (11 mmol) in anhydrous acetone (25 ml). The reaction mixture was heated under reflux for 15 minutes and then cooled to room temperature. A solution of 4-methylthiophenylamine (11 mmol) in acetone (10 ml) was added and the resulting mixture was stirred under reflux for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was then poured into crushed ice under stirred. The solid product was filtered under and washed with deionized water and purified by recrystallization from ethanol to give fine crystals of the title compound, with an overall yield of 84%.

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 > 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. |

In the title compound, C15H14N2OS2, an intramolecular hydrogen bond of type N2—H2···O1 completes a nearly planar six-membered pseudo-ring involving the N2/C1/N1/C2/O1 atoms [r.m.s = 0.0212 Å and largest deviation = 0.033 (1) Å for N1]. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring [r.m.s = 0.0036 Å] and the (methylsulfanyl)benzene ring [r.m.s = 0.0028 Å and largest deviation of 0.067 (3) Å for C15] is 85.71 (8)°. The benzene ring and the (methylsulfanyl)benzene group make dihedral angles of 31.76 (8)° and 54.68 (6)°, respectively, with the plane of the pseudo-ring.
The crystal packing is stabilized by weak N1—H1···S1i [(i): -x + 1, -y + 2, -z + 2] interactions (Table 2), which lead to centrosymmetric dimer formation around the inversion center on (1/2,0,0) and arranged in a linear chain along [001]. The helix conformation of the title compound is justified by the supramolecular array.
The bond lengths and bond angles are in agreement with similar benzoylthiourea derivatives found in the CSD (Allen, 2002): 1-Benzoyl-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)thiourea [CSD refcode:WADSAX (Al-abbasi et al., 2010)], 1-Benzoyl-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)thiourea [CSD refcode: WIRZAY (Cao et al., 1996)] and N-Benzoyl-N'-phenylthiourea [CSD refcode: HURYAU (Yamin et al., 2003)].
