In the title zwitterionic compound, C15H19NO2S, the six-membered heterocycle adopts a sofa conformation. The negative charge is delocalized along the carbonyl and enolate system on the ring and the positive charge is localized on the S atom. Two intermolecular C—H⋯O interactions help to establish the packing.

reaction of (1'R)-(+)-{[(2-methoxycarbonyl-ethyl)-(1'-phenyl-ethyl)-carbamoyl]-methyl}-dimethyl-sulfonium; bromide (1 mmol), which was dissolved in CH3CN (10 mL), treated with KOH (1.2 mmol) and stirred for two hours at room temperature. The resulting mixture was concentrated in vacuum and dissolved in ethyl acetate, filtered and concentrated giving the desired compound in 95%. Crystals were obtained from an ethyl acetate/diethylether solution; m.p. 139–140°C, [H atoms linked to C atoms were placed in geometrical idealized positions and refined as riding on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93–0.98 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C) or Ueq(H) = 1.5 Ueq(C) for methyl groups.

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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 synthesis of chiral non racemic zwitterionic 4-alkoxy-3-sulfonium ylide pyridine-2-ones is an original area of interest in organic chemistry (Zang et al., 2008; Kappe et al., 1983) because they are useful for the synthesis of piperidine-2,4-dione and pyridine-2-one (Palillero et al., 2009) compounds and because of their interesting biological properties (Basco et al., 1994; Koruzňjak et al., 2003).
The title compound I, features a zwitterionic molecule. The chiral centre shows an R configuration with [α]D= +70.5. The six member ring N1/C1/C2/C3/C4/C5 shows an sofa conformation with puckering parameters (Cremer & Pople, 1975) Q = 0.465 (4) Å, θ2 = 119.7 (5)°, ϕ2 = 103.2 (6)°, q2 = 0.404 (4) Å and q3 = -0.231 (4) Å. The bond distances of N1—C1, N1—C5, C5—C4 and C4—C3 show typical values, so that C2—C3 distance shows a single double bond (1.415 (5) Å), while C1—C2 (1.455 (5) Å) distance is shorter than common sp3—sp3 bonds, furthermore C3—O2 (1.244 (5) Å) and C1—O1 (1.250 (4) Å) distances are longer than related enolates and amide groups respectively these values suggest that negative charge is delocalized over O1/C1/C2/C3/O2 system and in the sulfonium group is located the positive charge in the zwitterion. Crystal packing is stabilized by two weak intermolecular C —H···O interactions.
