The title compound, C12H14O6S, is a dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene, which is a component of electrically conductive poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT). The ethylene group is disordered over two sites with occupancy factors 0.64 and 0.36. Both the carbonyl groups are coplanar with the thiophene ring. The molecules form centrosymmetric dimers with an R22(12) coupling by intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [3.333 (5) Å] at the ethoxycarbonyl groups. The dimer units are arranged to form a ribbon-like molecular sheet.

The title compound was synthesized as a precursor of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene, which is polymerized to afford PEDOT (Groenendaal et al., 2000; Pei et al., 1994).

The title compound (I) was prepared as follows: A solution of diethyl 3,4-dihydroxythiophene-2,5-dicarboxylate (3.12 g, 12 mmol) and caesium fluoride (7.26 g, 48 mmol) in dry acetonitrile (200 ml) was stirred for 1 h under nitrogen. After addition of a solution of ethylene di(p-toluenesulfonate) (5.55 g, 15 mmol) in dry acetonitrile (100 ml), the reaction mixture was refluxed for 48 h. The reaction mixture was filtered and the precipitate was washed with acetonitrile. The filtrate was concentrated and the residue was chromatographed on alumina gel (CH2Cl2) and silica gel (CH2Cl2) to afford the compound of (I) (2.38 g, 69%) as colorless needles. Physical data for (I): m.p. 424–425 K; IR (KBr, cm-1) 2998, 1698, 1454, 1377, 1302, 1098; 1H NMR (CDCl3, δ p.p.m): 1.37 (t, J = 7.1 Hz, 6H), 4.35 (q, J = 7.1 Hz, 4H), 4.40 (s, 4H); 13C NMR (CDCl3, δ p.p.m): 14.2, 61.3, 64.7, 111.8, 144.9, 160.7; MS (EI): m/z 286 (M+), 241, 213, 169. Anal. Calcd for C12H14O6S: C, 50.34; H, 4.93. Found: C, 50.50; H, 4.96. Colorless crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained from a methanol solution.
All the H atoms were placed in geometrically calculated positions, with C—H = 0.97 (methylene) and 0.96 (methyl) Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) (methylene) and 1.5Ueq(C) (methyl), and refined using a riding model.

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. The methylene carbon atoms and the associated hydrogen atoms of the dioxine ring are disordered over two sites (O1—C5A—C6A—O2 and O1—C5B—C6B—O2) with occupancies of 0.36 (2):0.64 (2). The values were determined by refining site occupancies. |

The title compound (I) has been prepared as a precursor of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (Coffey et al., 1996; Kumar et al., 1998; Zong et al., 2002; Caras-Quintero & Bäuerle, 2002), which is polymerized by oxidizing agents to afford poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT). PEDOT shows high electrical conductivities and high stabilities in the oxidized states. Furthermore, the thin films of oxidized PEDOT are almost transparent. Therefore, these are used for organic electrodes in the study of electronic devices (Groenendaal et al., 2000; Pei et al., 1994). With regard to the hole-transporting abilities, the arrangement of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene units in film has attracted considerable attention. A few crystal structures including a 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene ring system were reported (Sotzing et al., 1996; Abboud et al., 1998; Kumar et al., 1998). In this paper, we report the crystal structure of compound (I) that is a dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene.
The compound (I) crystallizes in the P1 space group. The molecular structure is shown in Fig. 1. The ethylene moiety is disordered over two sites (O1—C5A—C6A—O2 and O1—C5B—C6B—O2) with occupancies of 0.36:0.64. The bond lengths and angles are all within expected ranges (Allen et al., 1987). Both the carbonyl moieties are planar to the thiophene ring. The molecules form a centrosymmetric dimer with a graph-set motif (Bernstein et al., 1995) of R22(12) by intermolecular C–H···O hydrogen bonds at the ethoxycarbonyl groups [C9–H9B···O3(–x + 3, –y, –z): 3.333 (5) Å]. The dimer units are arranged to form a ribbon-like molecular sheet along the b axis, as shown in Fig. 2. The ribbon-like molecular sheets stack to form a layer structure (Fig. 3).
