The title compound, C8H12N2O3S2, has been isolated as an intermediate in the synthesis of methylene blue dye, the best known phenothiazine dye, and structurally characterized as a zwitterion. The is dominated by intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the amine and sulfothioate groups, with graph-set motif C(9)R22(8), involving antiparallel chains and a centrosymmetric eight-membered ring. A hydrogen bond with graph-set motif R22(14) between the ammonium and sulfothioate groups completes the two-dimensional network in the ab plane. Intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are also present in the crystal.

N,N-dimethylaniline was dissolved in aqueous HCl and nitrosilated with NaNO2 (Bennett & Bell, 1943). The resulting crude 4-nitroso-N,N-dimethylaniline hydrochloride was isolated and dissolved in aqueous acetic acid. The cold water solution of Na2S2O3 was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at 273 - 278 K for several h (Bogert & Updike, 1927), and left for two days at room temperature. The crude product was filtered off, and crystallized from water. The obtained crystals of S-2-amino-5-(dimethylammonium)phenyl sulfothioate (I) were in the form of blue prisms.

Analysis, calculated for C8H12N2O3S2: C 38.69, H 4.87, N 11.28%; found: C 38.65, H 4.91, N 11.21%.
Hydrogen atoms bonded to the nitrogen atoms of amino and ammonio groups were found in the difference Fourier electron-density maps and refined freely. All hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon atoms were generated at calculated positions and refined by applying the riding model (Uiso (H) = 1.2 Ueq (C) and Csp2-H distance 0.93 Å; Csp3-H 0.96 Å and Uiso (H) = 1.5 Ueq (C).

Phenothiazine dyes are class of colorants with application in various fields of which the methylene blue is the most well known (Zollinger, 1991; Hunger, 2003). Commercially, methylene blue is produced by oxidation of 4-N,N-dimethylaminoaniline with Na2Cr2O7 in the presence of Na2S2O3, followed by the further oxidation in the presence of N,N-dimethylaniline, usually without isolation of intermediate 4-N,N-dimethylaminoaniline-2-tiosulfuric acid (Leventis et al., 1997). Namely, this compound was first described in 1889 (Bernthasen, 1889) and in the last hundred years reported by several authors. Moreover, in the literature the compound is described as phenyl O-hydrogen sulfothioate acid but the possibility of zwitterionic form (I) (Scheme 1) was not reported. Following one of the known method for preparation of 4-N,N-dimethylaminoaniline-2-tiosulfuric acid (Bogert & Updike, 1927), we isolated S-2-amino-5-(dimethylammonio)phenyl sulfothioate (I) determined by single-crystal structure analysis (Scheme, Fig. 1).
The single S—S bond distance value of sulfothioate group is 2.0985 (5) Å. The S—C bond in (I) is 1.768 (2) Å, reflecting aprox. 20% of π bond character according to N. Trinajstić (Trinajstić, 1968). The Car—N bond formed by amine group has significantπ character (1.360 (3) Å). On the contrary, C—N bonds of the N,N-dimethylammonio groups are essentially single bonds (N2—C7 1.491 (2) Å and N2—C8 1.501 (2) Å). The values observed are in accordance with the literature data (Allen et al., 1987).
The relative orientation of the sulfothioate group to the phenyl ring is defined by the torsion angle S2—S1—C3—C4 (92.93 (13)°). The twist around Car-Nsp3 bond is described by Car—Car—Nsp3—Csp3 torsion angle of 73.97 (18)° (for the atom sequence C6—C1—N2—C8).
The rather complex hydrogen bond network in (I) (Table 1, Fig. 2) is characterized by the N—H···O and the C—H···O intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The atom N1 acts as double proton donor and the atoms O1 and O3 as double proton acceptors (Table 1). The C—H···O intermolecular hydrogen bonds are formed between Car-H groups along with the C8 atom of 5-N,N-dimethylammonio cation and O atoms of S—SO3- fragment.
At the unitary level antiparallel infinite chains are formed by the N1—H11N···O1i (i = x, -y, z) hydrogen bonds between amino and sulfothioate groups (Table 1, Fig. 2). The R22(8) rings are formed via N1—H11N···O1i (i = x, -y, z) and N1—H21N···O1ii (ii = 2 - x, -y, 1 - z) hydrogen bonds, thus N1 amino group participates in bifurcated hydrogen bond. The combination of these two primary motifs, chain and ring, generates a new 14-membered ring of the second level of graph-set notation: N2=R22(14) involving N+2-H···O3 hydrogen bond. Consequently, the crystal structure can be described as the two-dimensional-network in the (ab) plane.
