The title compound, C13H13NO4S, is a racemic mixture of enanti­omers. Short intra­molecular contacts between sulfonyl O and ester carbonyl C atoms are observed [C⋯O = 2.881 (1), 2.882 (1) and 2.686 (1) Å], indicating the possibility of donor—acceptor inter­actions between these groups. The dihedral angle between the phenyl and cyclopropyl rings is 79.3 (1)°.

Comment top

It is know, that some alpha-bromovinyl sulfones react with primary amines in DMSO to give the products of aza-Michael Ring Closure reaction (MIRCR) - 2-sulfonylsubstituted aziridines (Galliot et al., 1979). Similarly MIRCR of phenyl-(Z)-(2-phenyl-2-chloroethenyl)sulfone with diethyl sodium malonate leads to formation of a sulfonylsubstituted cyclopropane (Yamamoto et al., 1985). We have carried out MIRCR between compound (1) (see Fig. 2) and monosodium salt of methyl cyanoacetate in THF at 20 °C and a cyclopropane derivative, (2), was obtained. The product, (2), was isolated by chromatography, crystallized and studied by X-ray diffraction.

In compound (2) three short intramolecular contacts C···O, which appreciable less sum of the van der Vaals radii given atoms = 3.000Å (Zefirov et al., 1989), are found out. The first of them takes place between atoms O2 of sulfonyl and C5 of methoxycarbonyl groups (2.881 Å). The second contact length 2.882Å is observed between atoms O4 of methoxycarbonyl and C10 of cyclopropane fragment. The third is shorted (2.686 Å). It arises between atoms O1 of methoxycarbonyl group and C2 of cyano group. Given contacts are evidence of possible donor-acceptor interaction between cys-located sulfonyl and methoxycarbonyl groups, and also between methoxycarbonyl on the one hand,cyano group and cyclopropene fragment - with another.

We shall note, that strong interaction between drawing together sulfonyl and methoxycarbonyl groups in structure of cyclobutane fragment, hardly fixed in space by trimethylene bridge, where free rotation of given groups was revealed earlier; interatomic distance C···O in this case is 2.489Å (Vasin et al., 2010). At the same time, in analogue of compound (2) - dimethyl 3-phenyl-2-(t)-phenylsulfonyl-1,1-cyclopropanecarboxylate, as it has been established by X-ray analysis, mutual, close to parallel, an arrangement of sulfonyl and ethoxycarbonyl groups the dipole-dipole interaction between them does not promote (Yamamoto et al., 1985).

The values of valent angles at atom C5 in compound (2), most likely, are consequence of noted donor-acceptor interaction: a little overestimated for C4—C5—O4 (124.35°) and O4—C5—O1 (126.02°), essentially underestimated for O1—C5—C4 (109.62°), and also value of angle C5—C4—C2 (114.35°).

The structure of compound (2) consists of separate molecules between which only van der Vaals interaction is carried out.

Experimental top

Compound (2) was obtained by the reaction between the previously reported compound (1) (Vasin et al., 2008) and monosodium salt of methyl cyanoacetate (see Fig. 2). Sodium hydride (0.23 g 60% suspension in mineral oil) was freed of mineral oil by washing with hexane and was added dry THF (5 ml). Methyl cyanoacetate (4.2 g) in THF (10 ml) was added drop wise for 10 min at stirring. The stirring was continued for 1.5 h at 20 °C. After drop wise addition of compound (1) (1.0 g) in THF (10 ml), stirring was continued at 20° C for 20 h. The mixture was diluted with water (250 ml), neutralized with aqueous (1: 1) HCl, extracted with CHCl3 (3 x 15 ml), washed with water, and dried over MgSO4. Evaporation of solvent in vacuo gave 0.7 g semisolid product. Compound (2) was isolated by column chromatography on silicagel and crystallized from an acetone - hexane (1: 3) mixture [yield 0.21 g (20%); m. p. 417–418 K].

Refinement top

The initial fragment of structure was solved by a direct method; other non-hydrogen atoms were received from the analysis by successive synthesis of electron density. Floating origin restraint had been used. Hydrogen atoms were placed in geometrically calculated positions and refined in riding model with U (H) = 1.5 U (C) for hydrogen atoms in methyl groups and U (H) = 1.2 U (C) for all other hydrogen atoms, where U (C) – the equivalent temperature factor of carbon atom with which the corresponding hydrogen atom is bonded.

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. The one restraint corresponded to floating origin restraints. 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.
