Source of materialAll chemicals used for the preparation were of reagent grade quality.
Experimental detailsAll the H atoms were located in a Fourier difference map. The aryl and amino H atoms were refined isotropically without restraints. The ethyl H atoms were constrained to ride in the rigid-body approximation (d(CH) = 0.97 Å and 0.96 Å, U iso (H) = 1.2 and 1.5U eq(C), respectively).
DiscussionIn recent years, a special attention has been paid to thiourea and its derivatives [4,5]. Among these works, some were focused on the application of the thiourea derivatives [6]. It was reported that some unexpected coordination compounds and structures were obtained by the reaction with thiourea and copper(II) [7]. In the crystal structure of the title compound, there are two plane moieties, the p-Cl-phenyl ring and the six-membered ring formed by the intramolecular hydrogen bond (N1H1¢···O1; figure, top). The mean deviations for the two molecular planes are 0.011 Å and 0.036 Å, respectively, and the dihedral angle between them is 28.3°. The hydrogen-bonded six-membered ring structure is similar in the previous reports about the crystal structures containing thiourea [2,3]. A dimer of the title molecule ( figure, bottom) is formed by the intermolecular hydrogen bond N2H2¢···S1 similar to that reported before [3]. There is no hydrogen bond between the chlorine atom and NH, although the chlorine atom has a trend to form hydrogen bonds [1]. Apparently, the molecular conformation and the molecular packing are governed from sulfur and oxygen atoms rather than chlorine atom. Comparing the title structure with the similar crystal structures [1][2][3], there are no noticeable differences between main bond distances.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
