Abstract

The title compound, C13H12O2S2, belonging to the group of dioxoketene cyclic S,S-acetals, was prepared from the corresponding dione in high yield. In the structure, the C=O and C=C bonds are not coplanar, with O=C—C=C torsion angles of −36.8 (4) and −21.0 (4)°. The dithian ring has a twisted conformation.

Comment

The dioxo ketene cyclic S,S-acetals have been known as a precursor for the synthesis of not only unsaturated ketones and keto esters, but also heterocyclic compounds (Choi et al., 1988; Lin et al., 2005; Zhu et al., 1996; Zhu et al., 1997). We have synthesized the title compound, 1-phenyl-2-(1,3-dithian -2-ylidene)-butane-1,3-dione and determined its molecular structure (Fig. 1). In the structure, the C=O bonds, the benzene ring, and the C2=C5 double bond are not co-planar. The O1—C1—C8—C13 torsion angle is -24.3 (4)°. The dihedral angle between the planes C2_C1_O1 and C2_C3_O2 is 50.7 (4)°, and is 7.6 (4) ° between the C1_C2_C3 and S1_C5_S2 planes.

Experimental

To a suspension of 1-phenyl-butane-1,3-dione(21 mmol) and anhydrous K2CO3(60 mmol)in DMF(20 ml was added CS2(30 mmol) at room temperature. After stirring for about 1 h, 1,2-dibromoethane (22 mmol) was added in full. Stirring was continued another 10 min at room temperature. Water(250 ml) was added to precipitate the yellow block-shaped product, which was recrystallized from ethanol, providing analytically pure compound suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction. M.p. 404 K°. Analysis: Found: C: 59.15, H: 4.50; calculated: C: 59.06, H: 4.58%. IR spectra: 3083,1647,1615,1418 and 1240 cm-1. 1H-NMR: 2.08(3H,s,CH3), 3.43(4H,m, 2*SCH2), 7.70(5H,m, ph)

Refinement

All H atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H = 0.93 Å, 0.97 Å, 0.96Å of –CH, –CH2 and-CH3 respectively) and included in the refinement in the riding-model approximation with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(carrier atom) (1.5Ueq for methyl H atoms).

Special details

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
