Abstract: N-(2,3-Dimethyl-phenyl)-N′-(methoxyl formyl)thiourea was synthesized by the reacting of 2,3-dimethy- laniline, potassium thiocyanate(KSCN) and methyl chloroformate(ClCOOCH3). Single crystal was obtained by slowly evaporation solvent at room temperature. The structure was characterized by elemental analysis, IR and X-ray crystalography. The compound crystallized: a triclinic system with space group Pī, a=0.83440(12) nm, b=0.89113(13) nm, c=0.93015(13) nm, α=76.548(2)°, β=63.906(2)°, γ=82.538(2)°, V=0.60379(15) nm3, Z=2, Dc=1.311 mg/m3, F(000)=252, μ=0.256 mm-1, R1=0.0379, wR2=0.0919. The specific heat capacity of the title compound was determined by a Micro-DSC method, and the specific heat capacity was 1.25 J·g-1·K-1 at 298.15 K. Thermodynamic functions, relative to those at the standard temperature of 298.15 K, were calculated via thermodynamic relationship. The thermal behavior of the title compound under a non-isothermal condition was studied by differential scanning calorimetry/thermogravimetric(DSC/TG) method. There was an obvious endothermic peak in the DSC curve, the peak temperature was 479.43 K. The compound mass loss was 89.94% observed from the TG curve.
