Crystal structure of 4-methoxy-N-(piperidine-1carbonothioyl)benzamide

In the title compound, C14H18N2O2S, the piperidine ring has a chair conformation. Its mean plane is twisted with respect to the 4-methoxybenzoyl ring, with a dihedral angle of 63.0 (3)degrees. The central N-C(=S)-N(H)-C(=O) bridge is twisted with an N-C-N-C torsion angle of 74.8 (6)degrees. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N-H center dot center dot center dot O and C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the c-axis direction. Adjacent chains are linked by C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions, forming layers parallel to the ac plane. The layers are linked by offset pi-pi interactions [intercentroid distance = 3.927 (3) angstrom], forming a supramolecular three-dimensional structure.
