3-Acetyl-1-(4-methyl­phen­yl)thio­urea

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(10)H(12)N(2)OS, contains two independent mol­ecules. In both mol­ecules, the conformations of the two N—H bonds are anti to each other. Furthermore, the conformations of the amide C=S bonds and the C=O bonds are anti to each other. The dihedral angles between the benzene ring and the side chain are 52.8 (1) and 68.0 (1)° in the two independent mol­ecules. An intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs in both independent mol­ecules. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked into infinite chains along the a axis through a series of N—H⋯O and N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds.
