Abstract
Two independent thio-urea molecules comprise the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C22H20N2OS. The central N-C(=S)N(H)C(=O) atoms in each molecule are virtually superimposable and each is twisted [C - N - C - S torsion angles = 121.3 (3) and -62.3 (4)°]. The molecules differ only in terms of the relative orientations of the benzyl benzene rings [major difference between the C - N - C - C torsion angles of -146.6 (3) and -132.9 (3)°]. The presence of N - H⋯S hydrogen bonding leads to the formation of supra-molecular chains along the a axis. These are consolidated in the crystal packing by C - H⋯O interactions. The crystal was found to be a combined non-merohedral and racemic twin (twin law 1̄00/01̄0/001), with the fractional contribution of the minor components being approximately 9 and 28%.
