1-(o-Tolyl)thiourea

Abstract

In the title compound, C8H10N2S, the o-tolyl group and the thiourea core are planar. The mean planes of the two groups are almost perpendicular [82.19 (8)°]. The thiourea group is in the thioamide form, in which resonance is present. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked by intermolecular N—H...S hydrogen bonds, forming two infinite chains parallel to the (110) and (1overline{1}0) planes.
