In the title compound, C(17)H(18)N(2)O(2)S(2), the angle between the mean plane defined by the atoms of the 5,6-dihydro-4H-cyclo-penta-[b]thio-phene moiety (r.m.s. deviation = 0.19 Å) and the phenyl ring is 72.8°(2). The mol-ecular conformation is stabilized by an intra-molecular N-H⋯O inter-action, which generates an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, pairs of N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules to form inversion dimers with an R(2) (2)(8) ring motif.
