(E)-Ethyl 2-cyano-2-(thiazolidin-2-ylidene)acetate

J.-G. Wang and F.-F. Jian

Abstract top

The title compound, C8H10N2O2S, was prepared by the reaction of 2-cyano-3,3-bis(methylsulfanyl)acrylate and 2-aminoethanethiol at 350 K. The molecular structure and packing are stabilized by N-H...O hydrogen-bond interactions. All the non-H atoms are nearly in the same plane with the maximum deviation being 0.08 Å.

Comment top

Thiazolidine is an important kind of group in organic chemistry. Many compounds containing thiazolidine groups possess a broad spectrum of biological activities (Iwata et al., 1988; Huang & Shi, 1990). Here, we report the crystal structure of the title compound (I).

In the crystal structure of (I) (Fig. 1), the torsion angle formed by the N1, C3, S1 and C1 is 4.5 (3)°. All the non-H atoms are nearly the same plane with the maximum deviation of atoms being 0.08 Å. The C—S bond lengths of 1.745 (3) and 1.806 (3) Å are in agreement with those observed before (Schroth et al., 1997). In the crystal structure, there are N—H···O hydrogen-bond interactions to stabilize the crystal structure (Table 12).

Experimental top

A mixture of ethyl 2-cyano-3,3-bis(methylthio)acrylate 4 mmol (0.87 g) and 2-amino-ethanethiol (0.32 g, 4.1 mmol) is refluxed in absolute EtOH (25 ml) for 4 h. On cooling, the product crystallized and is filtered, and recrystallized from absolute EtOH [yield 0.67 g (85%)]. Single crystals suitable for X-ray measurements were obtained by recrystallization from ethanol at room temperature.

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with N—H and C—H distances of 0.86 and 0.93–0.96 Å, respectively, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5Ueq of the parent atoms.

Special details top

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.
