Spectroscopic Studies and Crystal Structure of 1-[(2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl)(phenyl) methyl] Thiourea

Abstract  A new mannich base 1-(2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl)(phenyl)methyl] thiourea formed by the direct condensation of thiourea, succinimide and benzaldehyde has been synthesized. The structure of this mannich base has been elucidated on the basis of micro elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, Mass and UV–Visible Techniques. The crystal structure of the title compound C₁₂ H₁₃ N₃ O₂ S was determined. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/c with a = 10.8234 (7) ?, b = 6.0355 (5) ?, c = 19.3692 (14) ?, β = 100.540(3)°, Z = 4 and V = 1243.94 (16) ?³. The structure was solved by the full-matrix least squares on F ² and had a refined R value of 0.0465 for 1,964 observed reflections. The crystal structure is stabilized by strong intramolecular C–H···O, C–H···S interactions and inter molecular N–H···O and S···S interactions. Graphical Abstract  This paper describes the spectroscopic and crystallographic studies of the title compound which is essential in ascertaining the structure of this new compound.
