Abstract:
In the title compound, C(6)H(8)N(2)O(2)S, also known as N-acetyl-2-thiohydantoin-alanine, the molecules are joined by N-H...O hydrogen bonds, forming centrosymmetric R2(2)(8) dimers; these dimers are linked by C-H...O interactions to form R2(2)(10) rings, thus forming C2(2)(10) chains that run along the [101] direction.

Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
