Crystal structure of (E)-4-{1-[2-(car-bamo-thio-yl)hydrazin-1-yl-idene]ethyl}phenyl 4-methyl-benzoate.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C17H17N3O2S, consists of two independent mol-ecules, A and B, with different conformations: in mol-ecule A, the dihedral angles between the central benzene ring and the pendant tolyl and carbamo-thio-ylhydrazono groups are 71.12†(9) and 5.95†(8)°, respectively. The corresponding angles in mol-ecule B are 50.56†(12) and 26.43†(11)°, respectively. Both mol-ecules feature an intra-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bond, which closes an S(5) ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O, N-H⋯S and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating a three-dimensional network.
