Crystal structure of (E)-4-{1-[2-(car­bamo­thio­yl)hydrazin-1-yl­idene]ethyl}phenyl 4-methyl­benzoate

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(17)H(17)N(3)O(2)S, consists of two independent mol­ecules, A and B, with different conformations: in mol­ecule A, the dihedral angles between the central benzene ring and the pendant tolyl and carbamo­thio­ylhydrazono groups are 71.12 (9) and 5.95 (8)°, respectively. The corresponding angles in mol­ecule B are 50.56 (12) and 26.43 (11)°, respectively. Both mol­ecules feature an intra­molecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bond, which closes an S(5) ring. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯O, N—H⋯S and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating a three-dimensional network.
