1-(4-Chlorobenzoyl)-3-(3-methylpyridin-2-yl)thiourea

Abstract

The molecule of the title compound, C14H12ClN3OS, consists of three approximately planar fragments: the central thiourea group, the chlorophenyl group and the picolyl (3-methylpyridin-2-yl) group with a maximum of 0.035 (2)° for an N atom from the mean square plane of the central thiourea group. The central fragment forms dihedral angles of 33.30 (8) and 76.78 (8)° with the chlorophenyl and picolyl groups, respectively. With respect to the thiourea C—N bonds, the 4-chlorobenzoyl group is positioned trans to the thiono S atoms, whereas the picolyl group lies in a cis position to it. The molecular conformation is stabilized by an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, molecules are linked by intermolecular C—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the a axis.
