N-Cyclohexyl-N′-(4-nitrobenzoyl)thiourea

In the title compound, C14H17N3O3S, the nitro group is twisted slightly by 2.6 (3)° from the benzene ring plane and the thioureido group makes a dihedral angle of 52.06 (4)° with the benzene ring. The cyclohexyl ring displays a chair conformation. An intramolecular N—H⋯O interaction is present. In the crystal, intermolecular N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers. π–π interactions between inversion-related benzene rings (centroid–centroid distance = 4.044 Å) and C—H⋯π interactions (H⋯centroid distance = 3.116 Å) between one methylene cyclohexyl H atom and the benzene ring are also present.
