Crystal structures of (N-methyl-N-phenyl­amino)(N-methyl-N-phenyl­carbamoyl)sulfide and the corresponding disulfane

(N-Methyl-N-phenyl­carbamoyl)(N-methyl-N-phenyl­amino)sulfide and the corresponding disulfane are stable derivatives of (chloro­carbon­yl)sulfenyl chloride and (chloro­carbon­yl)disulfanyl chloride, respectively.

Abstract

The title compounds, (N-methyl-N-phenyl­amino)(N-methyl-N-phenyl­car­bam­oyl)sulfide, C₁₅H₁₆N₂OS, (I), and (N-methyl-N-phenyl­amino)­(N-methyl-N-phenyl­carbamo­yl)disulfane, C₁₅H₁₆N₂OS₂, (II), are stable derivatives of (chloro­carbon­yl)sulfenyl chloride and (chloro­carbon­yl)disulfanyl chloride, respectively. The torsion angle about the S—S bond in (II) is −92.62 (6)°, which is close to the theoretical value of 90°. In the crystal of (II), non-classical inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds form centrosymmetric cyclic dimers [graph set R ₂ ²(10)], while inter-dimer C—H⋯S inter­actions generate chains extending along the b axis.

Chemical context  

As part of a multifaceted program in synthetic and mechanistic organosulfur chemistry (Barany et al., 1983 ▸; Barany & Mott, 1984 ▸; Schroll & Barany, 1986 ▸; Schrader et al., 2011 ▸, and references cited therein), we frequently encounter challenging-to-characterize compounds with one or more reactive acid chloride and/or sulfenyl chloride moieties. These are converted to the corresponding stable carbamoyl and/or sulfenamide derivatives, which are often crystalline, through their reliable, rapid, and high-yield reactions with N-methyl­aniline.

The present paper reports the structures of two such derivatives, i.e. (N-methyl-N-phenyl­amino)(N-methyl-N-phenyl­car­bamoyl)sulfide (I) and (N-methyl-N-phenyl­amino)(N-methyl-N-phenyl­carbamo­yl)­disulfane (II), as determined by X-ray crystallography. The title compounds are derived respectively from (chloro­carbon­yl)sulfenyl chloride and (chloro­carbon­yl)disulfanyl chloride, which are noxious, distillable liquids. They are the first two members of a general family of compounds with the structure Ph(Me)N(C=O)S_nN(Me)Ph, in which the higher members (n = 3–6) were found, but not isolated in crystalline form, as components in the reactions of in situ generated (2-propoxydi­chloro­meth­yl)(chloro­carbon­yl)polysulfanes with N-methyl­aniline (Schroll & Barany, 1986 ▸).

Structural commentary  

The title compounds differ by the number of sulfur atoms: one in (I) (Fig. 1 ▸) versus two in (II) (Fig. 2 ▸), and by the resulting relative orientations of the Ph(Me)N(C=O)S and N(Me)Ph moieties. Otherwise, they share similar bond lengths and angles across all analogous bonds (Table 1 ▸). Furthermore, the mol­ecular parameters are all within expected ranges. The S—S bond of (II) is 2.0625 (5) Å, which is comparable to the bond length in elemental sulfur, S₈ (2.07 Å), but slightly longer than the 2.03 Å found for bis­(N-methyl-N-phenyl­carbamo­yl)di­sul­fane ([Ph(Me)N(C=O)S]₂) (III) (Schroll et al., 2012 ▸). In compound (III) (Fig. 3 ▸), the slight shortening of the S—S bond was attributed to a partial double-bond character imparted by the adjacent carbonyl groups. Because (II) is essentially (III) minus one carbonyl group, it is not surprising for the S—S bond length in (II) to be closer to that in S₈. The torsion angle about the S—S bond in (II) is −92.62 (6)°, which is comparable to the theoretical optimum of 90° (Pauling, 1949 ▸; Torrico-Vallejos et al., 2010 ▸).

Note that when S is not numbered, it is S1 for compound (I) and S2 for compound (II). To specify certain torsion angles, the last atom in the linear structure differs between the two compounds, so X is used in place of an atom label.

Supra­molecular features  

The unit cell of (I) contains two mol­ecules related by a twofold screw axis (Fig. 4 ▸). There are no inter­molecular contacts in the crystal structure of (I). In the crystal of (II) non-classical inter­molecular C7—H⋯O1 hydrogen bonds (Table 2 ▸) form centrosymmetric cyclic dimers [graph set (10)]. Chains of mol­ecules extending along the b axis result from inter-dimer C2—H⋯S1 inter­actions (Fig. 5 ▸).

Database survey  

A search for similar structures in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD; Version 5.36, update of November 2014; Groom & Allen, 2014 ▸) gave bis­(N-methyl-N-phenyl­car­bam­o­yl)di­sulfane (III), published previously from our research (Schroll et al., 2012 ▸), as well as two similar bis(car­bamoyl)disulfanes (Bereman et al., 1983 ▸; Li et al., 2006 ▸). Structures containing a similar sulfenamide moiety were absent from the CSD, although two structures reported N—S bonds connected to ‘imido’ [(RC=O)₂N] moieties (Farrell et al., 2002 ▸; Ul-Haque & Behforouz, 1976 ▸). A very recent report from our research describes bis­(N-methyl-N-phenyl­amino)­tris­ulfane (IV) (Fig. 3 ▸) (Barany et al., 2015 ▸), an N-methyl­anilide which contains two ‘sulfenamide’ ends [whereas (III) contains two ‘carbamo­yl’ ends]. Not surprisingly, many geometric parameters of (III) and (IV) superimpose onto the corresponding portions of (I) and (II). For example, the sulfenamide N2—S bond lengths of (I) [1.6784 (15) Å] and (II) [1.6660 (11) Å] are close to that of (IV) [average N—S bond length of 1.657 Å] and the carbamoyl N1—C8 and S1—C8 bond lengths of (I) [1.351 (3) and 1.824 (2) Å, respectively] and (II) [1.357 (2) and 1.827 (1) Å, respectively] are similar to that of (III) [1.345 (3) and 1.825 (2) Å, respectively]. In addition, the torsion angles about the N1—C8 bond of (I) [3.3 (2)°] and (II) [9.16 (15)°] are similar to that of (III) [−6.4 (3)°] and the torsion angle about the N2—S bond in (I) [77.3 (2)°] and (II) [−72.86 (10)] are similar but slightly smaller than that of (IV) (average angle 80.3°).

Synthesis and crystallization  

The title compound (I) was prepared on scales of up to 0.1 mol by addition of a 0.5 M solution of (chloro­carbon­yl)sulfenyl chloride in CHCl₃ to an equal volume of a 2 M solution of N-methyl­aniline in CHCl₃ at 273 K, followed by stirring for 30 min at 298 K (Barany et al., 1983 ▸). Workup by washing with equal volumes of 1 N aqueous HCl (3×) and brine (once), drying (MgSO₄), filtering, and concentrating in vacuo gave the product as an oil (nominally qu­anti­tative), and recrystallization from hot hexa­nes (30 mL g⁻¹) gave a white solid (typically 65–80% recovery), m.p. 338–340 K, which was stable for several decades when stored under ambient conditions. ¹H NMR (300 MHz; CDCl₃): δ 7.43–7.48 (m, 3H), 7.37 (dd, J = 1.9, 7.9 Hz, 2H), 7.23–7.29 (m, 2H), 7.12 (dd, J = 1.0, 8.8 Hz, 2H), 6.86 (t, J = 7.2 Hz, 1H), 3.41 (s, 3H), 3.31 (s, 3H). X-ray quality crystals were obtained by dissolving (I) (100 mg) in minimal CHCl₃ (200 µL) and then adding hexane (2 mL), followed by slow evaporation of the solvent at 298 K over two days.

To prepare compound (II), a solution of (chloro­carbon­yl)disulfanyl chloride (Schroll & Barany, 1986 ▸) (814 mg, 5.0 mmol) in CH₂Cl₂ (15 mL) was added over 10 min to a stirred solution of N-methyl­aniline (2.2 mL, 20 mmol) in CH₂Cl₂ (11 mL) at 273 K. The homogeneous reaction mixture was allowed to warm to 298 K, stirred an additional 30 min, and standard extractive workup [compare to procedure above for (I)] gave the product as a brown oil (1.44 g, 94% crude yield). The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography, eluting with hexa­ne–ethyl acetate (8:1), to provide a yellow oil (1.37 g), which after storing under hexa­nes at 253 K overnight produced the title product as an off-white solid (757 mg, 2.5 mmol, 50%), m.p. 326–327 K (lit. 325–327 K; Barany & Mott, 1984 ▸). ¹H NMR (300 MHz; CDCl₃): δ 7.36–7.41 (m, 3H), 7.2–7.3 (m, 6H), 6.9–7.0 (m, 1H), 3.40 (s, 3H), 3.37 (s, 3H). X-ray quality crystals were prepared by dissolving (II) (23 mg) in CH₂Cl₂ (100 µL) and then adding heptane (200 µL), followed by slow evaporation of the solvent at 278 K over 11 days.

Refinement  

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 3 ▸. Hydrogen atoms were included at calculated positions [C—H(aromatic) = 0.95 Å or C—H(meth­yl) = 0.98 Å] and treated as riding, with U _isoH = 1.2U _eqC(aromatic) or 1.5U _eqC(meth­yl). With (I), although of no importance in this achiral mol­ecule, the Flack absolute structure factor (Parsons et al., 2013 ▸) was determined as 0.05 (3) for 1450 Friedel pairs.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s 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.

(II) (N-Methyl-N-phenylamino)(N-methyl-N-phenylcarbamoyl)disulfane . Special details

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s 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.
