Abstract: 2-Propyl mesityl sulfone, C₁₂H₁₈O₂S, (I), is entirely devoid of the rotational disorder displayed in the corresponding 2-bromo- and 2-chloro-2-propyl mesityl sulfones. Each molecule of (I) hydrogen bonds with four other molecules, each utilizing the acidic -H atom of its 2-propyl group and a p-methyl-H atom as donors, and its two sulfonyl-O atoms as acceptors, resulting in a structure consisting of two-dimensional layers of hydrogen-bonded molecules.
