Synthesis and Crystal Structure of N-(Biphenyl-2-thiocarbamoyl)-4-(1,3-dichlorophenyl) Carboxamide

The synthesis of the title molecule was achieved by the reaction of 2,4-dichlorobenzoyl chloride with potassium thiocyanate in 1:1 molar ratio in dry acetonitrile to afford the corresponding isothiocyante in situ followed by the treatment with 2-aminobiphenyl. The structure of the target compound was established by elemental analysis, FTIR, H-1, C-13 NMR and mass spectroscopy and unequivocally confirmed by the crystallographic data. The title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n with a = 13.356(2), b = 7.0761(11), c = 20.539(3) angstrom, beta= 105.723(4)degrees, V= 1868.5(5) angstrom(3) and Z = 4.
