In the title compound, C27H26P2S, the P—C—P angle is 114.33 (13)°. The bond distances are longer and the bond angles are smaller at the P atom bonded to the o-tolyl groups owing to the presence of a lone pair of electrons. One phenyl ring is disordered over three sites [occupancies 0.317 (8), 0.250 (8), and 0.433 (6)] and the other phenyl ring is disordered over two sites [occupancies 0.871 (6) and 0.129 (6)].

The title compound was prepared from a procedure adapted from that described by Grim et al. (1980) for the synthesis of unsymmetric (phosphinomethyl)phosphine δ 2.30 (s, CH3), 3.34 (d, 12.5 Hz, CH2), 7.05–7.88 (m, C6H5 and C6H4CH3). 13C{1H} NMR (CDCl3): δ 21.3 (d, 3JCP = 22 Hz, CH3), 33.1 (dd, 1JCP = 54 Hz, 1JCP = 32 Hz, CH2), 126.0 (s, C6H4CH3), 128.4 (d, J = 12 Hz, m-C6H5), 128.8 (s, C6H4CH3), 130.2 (d, J = 5 Hz, C6H4CH3), 131.2–131.7 (o-,p-C6H5 and C6H4CH3), 132.3 (d, 1JCP = 82 Hz, i–PC6H5), 136.2 (dd, 1JCP = 15,8 Hz, i–PC6H4CH3), 142.3 (d, 2JCP = 29 Hz, i–CCH3). 31P {1H} NMR (CDCl3): δ -48.5 (d, 2JPP = 74 Hz, P(C6H4CH3)2), 40.2 (d, 2JPP = 74 Hz, PS(C6H5)2).

Under an N2 atmosphere, Ph2PSCH2Li was formed from the addition of MeLi (8.84 ml of a 1.6 M solution in Et2O, 14.1 mmol) over 1 h to a suspension of Ph3PS (4.16 g, 14.1 mmol) in THF (16 ml) and Et2O (12 ml). After stirring an additional hour, the Ph2PSCH2Li solution was added to a suspension of (o-tolyl)2PCl (3.51 g, 14.1 mmol) in Et2O (16 ml) over 3 h. The mixture was stirred overnight. Solvents were removed under vacuum, and the residue was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (24 ml), washed with H2O (3 × 25 ml), and dried over MgSO4. Solvent was removed, and the resulting oil was dissolved in absolute EtOH (50 ml) to give colorless clusters of the title compound (2.69 g, 43%). Mp: 128.4–129.0 °C. Anal. Calcd for C27H26P2S: C, 72.96; H, 5.90; P, 13.94; S, 7.21. Found: C, 72.65; H, 5.94; P, 14.70; S, 7.28. 1H NMR (CDCl3):Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were grown from slow diffusion of pentane into a concentrated EtOH solution at room temperature.
A structural model consisting of the molecule was developed. Two of the phenyl rings had poorly determined positions. In each disordered phenyl the geometry was idealized by restraining opposite C—C bond distances across the immaginary mirror plane that goes through the pivot carbon and C4' atom in the ring to be similar distances (e.s.d. 0.01). The C—P bond distances were restrained as similar distances (e.s.d. 0.01) and all phenyl rings in the disordered sites were forced to be flat (e.s.d. 0.01). The phenyl ring that contains atoms C1 thru C6 was disordered over 3 sites with each orientation being occupied by 31.7 (8), 25.0 (8), and 43.3 (6)% respectively. The phenyl ring that contains C7 thru C12 was disordered over two sites with the primary orientation being occupied 87.1 (6)% of the time. Rigid-bond restraints (e.s.d. 0.01) were imposed on displacement parameters for all disordered sites and similar displacement amplitudes (e.s.d. 0.01) were imposed on disordered sites overlapping by less than the sum of the Van der Waals radii. Methyl H atom positions, R—CH3, were optimized by rotation about R—C bonds with idealized C—H, R—H and H···H distances. Remaining H atoms were included as riding idealized contributors. Methyl H atom U's were assigned as 1.5 times Ueq of the
remaining H atom U's were assigned as 1.2 times carrier Ueq.Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2004); cell

Experimental. One distinct cell was identified using APEX2 (Bruker, 2004). Six frame series were integrated and filtered for statistical outliers using SAINT (Bruker, 2005) then corrected for absorption by integration using SHELXTL/XPREP V2005/2 (Bruker, 2005) before using SADABS (Bruker, 2005) to sort, merge, and scale the combined data. No decay correction was applied. |
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. Structure was phased by direct methods (Sheldrick, 2008). Systematic conditions suggested the unambiguous space group. The space group choice was confirmed by successful convergence of the full-matrix least-squares refinement on F2. The highest peaks in the final difference Fourier map were in the vicinity of atoms P1, P2, and C20; the final map had no other significant features. A final analysis of variance between observed and calculated structure factors showed little dependence on amplitude or resolution. |

Unsymmetrical (phosphinomethyl)phosphine monosulfides have been examined as ligands and have been used as precursors to their corresponding mixed bisphosphine ligands (Grim & Mitchell, 1977; Grim et al., 1980). We are interested in the steric properties of mixed aryl-aryl bisphosphine sulfides and their derivatives. The title compound, (di-o-tolylphosphino)methyldiphenylphosphine sulfide (C27H26P2S), has not previously been reported, and its structure is shown in Fig. 1. The phenyl ring C1 to C6 is disordered over three sites and the phenyl ring C7 to C12 is disordered over two sites. The compound has a P1═S1 bond length of 1.950 (1) Å, which is similar to the P═S bond distances found in (bisphosphino)methane disulfides (Jones et al., 2002; Camalt et al., 1996). The P1—C(methylene) bond distance of 1.812 (3) Å is slightly shorter than the P2—C(methylene) bond distance of 1.852 (3) Å, where P1 is the diphenylphosphino P atom bonded to sulfur and P2 is the (di-o-tolyl)phosphino P atom. The P—C—P bond angle of 114.33 (13)° is larger than the expected value of 109.5° for a tetrahedral C atom. The C—P1—C bond angles range from 104.5 (4) to 106.15 (13)°. However, the C—P2—C bond angles of 100.23 (10) to 100.94 (11)° are significantly smaller. The longer bond distances and smaller bond angles at P2 are due to its lone pair of electrons.
