1-(o-tolyl)thiourea

In the title compound, C(8)H(10)N(2)S, the o-tolyl group and the thiourea core are planar. The mean planes of the two groups are almost perpendicular [82.19 (8)degrees]. The thiourea group is in the thioamide form, in which resonance is present. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked by intermolecular N-H center dot center dot center dot S hydrogen bonds, forming two infinite chains parallel to the (110) and (110) planes.
