The title compound was prepared via addition of methanesulfonyl chloride (7 ml, 102.5 mmol) to a three-necked round-bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stirring bar, gas inlet, reflux condenser and a rubber septa under an inert N2 atmosphere. Hexamethyldisilazane (20 ml, 103.1 mmol) was added drop wise over 10 minutes with stirring at ambient temperatures. The flask was then placed into an oil bath and the reaction mixture heated to 363–373 K to initiate the reaction. The temperature of the oil bath was increased to between 388–393 K and the reaction mixture refluxed at this temperature for 2 h. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and the reaction by-product (Me3SiCl) was removed in vacuo. The resulting crude white powder was recrystallized from a CH2Cl2/Hexane mixture producing colourless crystals. (Yield = 15.6 g, 91%).
Hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H distances ranging from 0.98 Å and included in the
in a riding-model approximation with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C). The positional parameters of the H atoms bonded to N atoms were refined independently and with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(N). The N—H distances were constrained to be the same in each molecule [0.81 (2) Å] using the SADI command in SHELXL (Sheldrick, 2008).N-trimethylsilylmethylsulfonamide, a key intermediate in the synthesis of polyoxothiazenes (Roy et al., 1993) and polythionylphosphazenes (Chunechom et al., 1998), was prepared via the reaction of methanesulfonyl chloride and hexamethyldisilazane (Roy, 1993). The π-bonding between the sulfur and nitrogen atoms. The S—N—Si bond angles of 127.83 (14)° and 128.59 (14)Å are larger than might be expected, in terms of priciples, for either a tetrahedral or trigonal planar geometry about the nitrogen atom. In the molecules are linked via intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds to form one-dimensional chains along [001] (Fig. 2).
of the title compound, which contains two independent molecules, is shown in Fig. 1. The S—N bond distances in each molecule are intermediate between a typical S—N single bond (1.74 Å) and a typical S=N double bond (1.54 Å), (Ni et al., 1995) suggesting the presence of someFor the original synthesis of the title compound, see: Roy (1993).

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. |

N-trimethylsilylmethylsulfonamide, a key intermediate in the synthesis of polyoxothiazenes (Roy et al., 1993) and polythionylphosphazenes (Chunechom et al., 1998), was prepared via the reaction of methanesulfonyl chloride and hexamethyldisilazane (Roy, 1993). The asymmetric unit of the title compound, which contains two independent molecules, is shown in Fig. 1. The S—N bond distances in each molecule are intermediate between a typical S—N single bond (1.74 Å) and a typical S=N double bond (1.54 Å), (Ni et al., 1995) suggesting the presence of some π-bonding between the sulfur and nitrogen atoms. The S—N—Si bond angles of 127.83 (14)° and 128.59 (14)Å are larger than might be expected, in terms of hybridization priciples, for either a tetrahedral or trigonal planar geometry about the nitrogen atom. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked via intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds to form one-dimensional chains along [001] (Fig. 2).
