3-Acetyl-1-(4-methyl-phen-yl)thio-urea.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(10)H(12)N(2)OS, contains two independent mol-ecules. In both mol-ecules, the conformations of the two N-H bonds are anti to each other. Furthermore, the conformations of the amide C=S bonds and the C=O bonds are anti to each other. The dihedral angles between the benzene ring and the side chain are 52.8 (1) and 68.0 (1)° in the two independent mol-ecules. An intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs in both independent mol-ecules. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into infinite chains along the a axis through a series of N-H⋯O and N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds.
