Abstract

The present paper reports crystallographic studies on three related compounds that were of inter-est as precursors for synthetic and mechanistic work in organosulfur chemistry, as well as to model nitro-gen-protecting groups: (N-methyl-carbamo-yl)(tri-chloro-meth-yl)disulfane, C3H4Cl3NOS2, (1), (N-benzyl-carbamo-yl)(tri-chloro-meth-yl)disulfane, C9H8Cl3NOS2, (2), and (N-methyl-N-phenyl-carbamo-yl)(tri-chloro-meth-yl)disulfane, C9H8Cl3NOS2, (3). Their mol-ecular structures, with similar bond lengths and angles for the CCl3SS(C=O)N moieties, are confirmed. Compounds (1) and (3) both crystallized with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. Classical hydrogen bonding, as well as chlorine-dense regions, are evident in the crystal packing for (1) and (2). In the crystal of (1), mol-ecules are linked via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds forming chains along [110], which are linked by short Cl⋯Cl and S⋯O contacts forming sheets parallel to (001). In the crystal of (2), mol-ecules are linked via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds forming chains along [001], which in turn are linked by pairs of short O⋯Cl contacts forming ribbons along the c-axis direction. In the crystal of (3), there are no classical hydrogen bonds present and the chlorine-dense regions observed in (1) and (2) are lacking.
