In the crystal structure of the title compound, C10H12N2OS, the conformation of the two N—H bonds are anti to each other. The amide C=O and the C=S are are also anti to each other. The N—H bond adjacent to the benzene ring is syn to the m-methyl groups. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the side chain [mean plane of atoms C—C(O)N—C—N; maximum deviation 0.029 (2) Å] is 14.30 (7)°. There is an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond generating an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, the molecules are linked via N—H...) hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along [001]. The S atom is disordered and was refined using a split model [occupancy ratio 0.56 (4):0.44 (4)].
