In the title compound, C21H18O5S2, the two sulfur-bound phenyl rings lie on opposite sides of the methoxyphenyl group, making dihedral angles of 77.58 (8) and 87.45 (8)°with it. The dihedral angle between the sulfur-bound phenyl rings is 57.31 (8)°. In the crystal,
-
stacking is observed between the two sulfur-bound phenyl rings, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.878 (1) Å and a dihedral angle of 7.58 (8)°. The molecules are linked by weak C-H
O and C-H
contacts.
The title compound has been obtained by following modified method of Alexakis [Sulzer-Moss et al. (2009)]. A mixture of p-anisaldehyde (15.0 g, 110 mmol, 7.4 equiv.), bis(phenylsulfonyl)methane (4.4 g, 14.8 mmol, 1.0 equiv.), diethylammonium chloride (32.1 mmol, 2.1 equiv.) and potassium fluoride (2.5 mmol, 0.17 equiv.) in dry toluene (150 ml) was stirred and refluxed under a Dean Stark water separator for 24 h. After cooling, the solvent was evaporated and residue was partitioned between water (50 ml) and CH2Cl2 (150 ml). The organic phase was separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with CH2Cl2 (three times 25 ml). The combined organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude mixture was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (pentane/ethyl acetate: from 95/5 to 80/20), followed by recrystallization from pentane/chloroform. mp 123.0–123.9 °C (yield 4.9 g, 11.8 mmol, 79.9%).
C-bound H atoms were positioned geometrically (C—H = 0.98 Å for aliphatic, 0.95 Å for aromatic H) and treated as riding on their parent atoms [Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C, aromatic), Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C, aliphatic)].

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 > 2σ(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. |

Bissulfonyl ethylenes are important reagents in synthetic organic chemistry, because they are active Michael acceptors [Simpkins (1993), Najera et al. (1999), Prilezhaeva (2000)]. Recently, organocatalytic Michael additions of bissulfonyl ethylene have also been reported [Nielsen et al. (2010), Zhu et al. (2009), Alba et al. (2010)]. During our studies on the electrophilic reactivity of bissulfonyl ethylenes, we discussed structure-reactivity relationships.
In the title compound, the C1—C2 double bond deviates only slighthly from coplanarity with the phenyl ring of the methoxyphenyl group (plane-bond angle 10.22 (10)°). The double bonds S1—O2 and S2—O3 are coplanar with the C1—C2 double bond as is indicated by the torsion angles O2—S1—C1—C2 (-178.13 (13)°) and O3—S2—C1—C2 (1.12 (13)°). The sulfur-bound phenyl rings lie to opposite sides of the methoxyphenyl group with dihedral angles of 77.58 (8)° and 87.45 (8)°. The ring bound to S1 is almost coplanar with the S1—O1 double bond (plane-bond angle 7.79 (8)°), the ring bound to S2 is nearly coplanar with the S2—O4 double bond (plane-bond angle 9.12 (7)°). The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Figure 1.
The packing of the title compound is shown in Figure 2. π-π-stacking is observed between the two sulfur-bound phenyl rings with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.878 (1) Å and a dihedral angle of 7.58 (8)°. A C–H···π contact is established between the phenyl ring bound to S2 and the C8–H8 moiety. The distance of H8 to the centre of gravity of the phenyl ring is 2.56 Å, the angle around H8 is 164°. Furthermore weak C–H···O contacts with sulfur-bound oxygen atoms as acceptors are observed.
