The title compound, C10H13N3O2S, was prepared by condensation of 3,4-dihydroxy­benzaldehyde with 4-ethyl-3-thio­semicarbazide. The mol­ecule adopts an E configuration with respect to the C=N bond. One of the OH substituents on the dihydroxy­benzene ring is disordered over the two possible 3-positions on either side of the ordered 4-hydr­oxy group. The occupancy of the major disorder component refined to 0.633 (7). The mol­ecule is essentially planar, with an r.m.s. deviation through all non-H atoms of 0.0862 Å. An intra­molecular N—H...N hydrogen bond forms between the outer amine residue and the imine N atom, generating an S(5) ring motif and contributing to the planarity of the mol­ecule. In the crystal structure, an extensive network of classical O—H...O, O—H...S and N—H...S hydrogen bonds and weak C—H...O and S...O [3.301 (3) Å] inter­actions link mol­ecules into sheets running approximately parallel to the ab plane.

Comment top

For example the structure of the related molecule 2,3-dihydroxybenzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone hemihydrate has been reported by Swesi et al. (2006) as have the structures of a phenylthiocarbazole with a single hydroxy-substituent on the benzylidene ring (Jian & Li, 2006) and of a palladium(II) complex of an ethylthiosemicarbonate ligand deprotonated at the phenolate ring (Kovala-Demertzi et al., 2004).

The molecule adopts an E configuration with respect to the C=N bond and bond distances and angles are normal (Allen et al., 1987). One of the OH substituents on the dihydroxy benzene ring is disordered over the two possible 3-positions (labelled O3 and O5) on either side of the ordered O4 hydroxo group. Occupancy of the O3 and H5 atoms of the major disorder component refines to 0.633 (7). The molecule is essentially planar with an r.m.s. deviation through all non-hydrogen atoms of 0.0862 Å. An intramolecular N3—H3B···N1 hydrogen bond forms between the outer amine residue and the imine N atom generating an S(5) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995) which contributes to the planarity of the molecule.

In the crystal structure N2—H2A···S1 hydrogen bonds, Table 1, generate centrosymmetric R22(8) rings. Other classical O—H···O and O—H···S hydrogen bonds combine with weak C—H···O and S1···O4i interactions (d(S1···O4) = 3.301 (3) Å; i = -1 + x, 1/2 - y, 1/2 + z) to form sheets running approximately parallel to the ac diagonal, Fig 2.

Experimental top

The title compound C10H13N3O2S was prepared by heating an ethanolic (35 ml) solution of 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (1.4 g, 10 mmol) and 4-ethyl-3-thiosemicarbazide (1.2 g, 10 mmol) under reflux for 1 h. The resulting product was isolated and recrystallized from ethanol to afford red block-shaped crystals in 71% yield (m.p. 464–467 K).

Refinement top

The aromatic H atoms of the two disorder components were located in a difference Fourier map and refined with fixed isotropic displacement parameters with C—H distances restrained to 0.95 (1) Å. All other H-atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with d(C—H) = 0.95 Å, Uiso=1.2Ueq (C) for aromatic 0.99 Å, Uiso = 1.2Ueq (C) for CH2, 0.98 Å, Uiso = 1.5Ueq (C) for CH3 0.88 Å, Uiso = 1.2Ueq (N) for NH and 0.84 Å, Uiso = 1.5Ueq (O) for the OH atoms. Close contacts involving the H atoms of the OH substituents, suggest that there may be unresolved disorder particularly with the location of the H atoms. The highest residual electron density peak is located at 2.56 Å from O5 and the deepest hole is located at 0.81 Å from S1.

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.
