The title molecule, C22H17F3N2OS, adopts a trans–cis conformation with respect to the positions of the carbonyl and trifluoromethylbenzene groups against the thiocarbonyl group across the C—N bonds. The molecular structure is stabilized by an intramolecular N—HO hydrogen bond with an S(6) ring motif. The trifluoromethyl-substituted benzene ring forms dihedral angles of 66.05 (9) and 47.19 (9)° with the terminal phenyl rings and is twisted from the O=C—N—(C=S)—N carbonylthiourea plane [maximum deviation = 0.0535 (12) Å], making a dihedral angle of 63.59 (8)°. In the crystal, N—HO and C—HF hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a layer parallel to the bc plane. A C—Hπ interaction is also observed.
