In the asymmetric unit of the title structure, C13H14N2O2S, there are two independent mol-ecules. All bond lengths and angles show normal values. The dihedral angles between the phenyl and pyrimidine rings in each mol-ecule are 58.66 (9) and 57.88 (8)°, but these rings are rotated in opposite directions with respect to the S - C bond of the methyl-sulfanyl substituent. In the absence of hydrogen bonds, the crystal structure is stabilized by van der Waals forces and one weak C - H⋯π(arene) inter-action, with H⋯Cg = 2.91 Å (Cg is the centroid of t...
