Benzoin Thiosemicarbazone

Abstract

In the title compound, C<inf>15</inf>H<inf>15</inf>N<inf>3</inf>OS, the thiosemicarbazone moiety is planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.0369 (11) Å, and has an E configuration. The planar phenyl rings make dihedral angles of 26.56 (9) and 81.20 (5)° with the plane of the thiosemicarbazone moiety. In the molecule, there are two intramolecular interactions of types N-H⋯O and N-H⋯N. In the crystal structure, there are two intermolecular interactions of types O-H⋯S and N-H⋯S, leading to the formation of dimers. © 2005 International Union of Crystallography Printed in Great Britain - all rights reserved.
