Crystal structure of 2-[(E)-4-benzyloxy-2-hydroxybenzylidene]-N-cyclohexylhydrazinecarbothioamide acetonitrile hemisolvate

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C21H25N3O2S 0.5C2H3N, contains two independent molecules with almost similar structural properties along with a solvent molecule of acetonitrile. The compound exists in the E conformation with respect to the azomethine C=N double bond. The hydrazinecarbothioamide moieties in both independent molecules are almost planar [maximum deviations of 0.013 (2) and 0.007 (2) Å]. The molecular conformation is stabilized in each case by an intramolecular N - N hydrogen bond. In the crystal, pairs of N - S hydrogen bonds link each of the independent molecules into inversion dimers. The dimers are interconnected by means of three C - π interactions.
