The title compound, C28H22O6S2·2C6H13N·2H2O, was prepared by the reaction of a Wittig reagent and 2-formylbenzenesulfonic acid. The main molecule lies about an inversion centre at the midpoint of the C—C bond between the inner benzene rings. The molecular conformation is stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The is further stabilized by O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions.

A mixture of the Wittig-reagent (0.1 mol), and 2-formylbenzenesulfonic acid (0.2 mol) was stirred in refluxing 4-methylpiperidine (20 mL) for 4 h to afford the title compound (0.084 mol, yield 84%). Single crystals suitable for X-ray measurements were obtained by recrystallization from ethanol at room temperature.
The H atoms of the water molecule were found difference Fourier map and refined freely. The other atoms were fixed geometrically and allowed to ride on their attached atoms, with C—H = 0.93 - 0.97 Å O–H = 0.82 Å and with Uiso(H)=1.2–1.5Ueq (C, O).

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. |

Ethylene biphenyl have received considerable attention in the literature. They are attractive from several points of view, such as the optics characteristic. (Song et al., 2003). As part of our search for new ethylene biphenyl compounds we synthesized the title compound (I), and describe its structure here.
Main group of the title molecule in Fig. 1 has an inversion centre lied on the midpoint of the C—C bond between the inner benzene rings. The C7—C8 bond length of 1.326 (5)Å is comparable with C—C double bond [1.336 (2) Å] reported (Trueblood et al.,1982).
The molecular conformation is stabilized by C—H···O hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure is further stabilized by N—H···O hydrogen bonding interactions (Table 1).
