N-Ethyl-2-[1-(2-hy-droxy-4-methyl-phen-yl)ethyl-idene]hydrazinecarbo-thio-amide.

The title compound, C12H17N3OS, crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzene ring and the hydrazinecarbo-thio-amide group are 6.9†(4) and 37.2†(5)° in mol-ecules A and B, respectively. An intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond is observed in each mol-ecule. This serves to maintain an approximately planar conformation for mol-ecule A, but leaves a significant twist between these two groups in mol-ecule B. In the crystal, a weak N-H⋯S inter-action is observed, forming inversion dimers among the B mol-ecules and resulting in an R 2 (2)(8) motif. These dimers are further inter-connected by weak N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O inter-molecular inter-actions, forming chains along [011].
