The molecular structure of the title compound, also known as 2-thiothymine [systematic name: 2,3-dihydro-5-methyl-2-thioxopyrimidin-4(1H)-one], C(5)H(6)N(2)OS, is similar to that of thymine, with only small changes in the ring structure, apart from a significant difference at the substitution site [S=C = 1.674 (1) A]. The molecules are connected by hydrogen bonds, with N-H.O = 2.755 (2) A and N-H.S = 3.352 (1) A. The hydrogen-bond network is different from that in thymine, since it involves all the donor and acceptor atoms.
