Redetermination of 1-cyclo-hexyl-3-(2-furo-yl)thio-urea
Abstract:
The title compound, C(12)H(16)N(2)O(2)S, was synthesized from furoyl isothio-cyanate and cyclo-hexyl-amine in dry acetone, and the crystal structure redetermined. The thio-urea group is in the thio-amide form. The structure [Otazo-Sánchez et al. (2001 ▶). J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 2, pp. 2211-2218] has been redetermined in order to establish the intra- and inter-molecular inter-actions. The trans-cis geometry of the thio-urea group is stabilized by intra-molecular hydrogen bonding between the carbonyl and cis-thio-amide groups, resulting in a pseudo-S(6) planar ring which makes a dihedral angle of 3.24 (6)° with the 2-furoyl group and a torsion angle of -84.3 (2)° with the cyclo-hexyl group. There is also an intra-molecular hydrogen bond between the furan O atom and the other thio-amide H atom. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [010].

Stability of Substituted Cyclohexanes
The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.
