Abstract: | The structure of the title S‐alkylated isothiosemicarbazide, C12H15N3OS, was determined by single‐crystal diffractometry and compared with the structures of other compounds containing the S‐alkylthiosemicarbazide moiety. Such structures cluster into two groups, according to the different orientation of the –SR group with respect to the hydrazine N atom of the thiosemicarbazide. The cis arrangement is preferred by most molecules in the solid state, in spite of the possibility of intramolecular N—H?N interactions in the opposite orientation. |
