1-(Biphenyl-4-ylcarbonyl)-3-(2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl)thiourea

Abstract

The benzene rings of the biphenyl group in the title compound, C20H14ClN3O3S, are nearly coplanar [maximum deviation = 0.20 (3) Å]. The mean plane of the biphenyl group forms a dihedral angle of 5.24 (7)° with the aromatic ring of the nitrochlorobenzene group. Intramolecular N—H...Cl, N—H...O and C—H...S hydrogen bonds stabilize the cis–trans conformation of the molecule. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H...O and C—H...S hydrogen bonds into mutually interwoven corrugated layers parallel to (10-2).
