1-Benzoyl-3-(5-quinolyl)thiourea

Abstract

The title compound, C17H13N3OS, was obtained by the reaction of benzoyl chloride, ammonium thiocyanate and 5-aminoquinoline in the presence of polyethyleneglycol-400 (PEG-400) as a phase-transfer catalyst. The compound crystallized as discrete molecules linked by N—H...N and C—H...N hydrogen bonds involving all the potential donors, generating sheets parallel to (100). An intramolecular N—H...O bond is also present.
