In the molecule of the title compound, C6H9N3O3S, at 105 K, the six-membered ring is predominantly found in the chair conformation, with 1.89 (14)% in the boat conformation. In the there are five intermolecular C—H⋯O=C and C—H⋯O=S contacts less than 2.6 Å, as well as a weak C—H⋯N=N interaction to the diazo group.

A solution of 4.0 mg of the title compound in 500 µL of CH2Cl2 was placed in a 2.5 ml vial which was capped and a pinhole (0.5 mm) made in the cap to allow for slow evaporation in darkness at ambient temperature. A single cluster of pale yellow needles appeared after approximately 48 h.
H atoms were positioned with idealized geometry and with fixed C—H distances at 0.99 Å, except H atoms bonded to C2 and C4 for which coordinates were refined, as too short intramolecular H···H distances resulted from putting these H atoms in theoretical positions. Distance restraints were imposed on the C2—H2 and C4—H41/H42 bonds utilizing SHELX DFIX 0.95 0.02 and DFIX 0.99 0.02 commands, respectively. Heavy atoms were refined anisotropically, except S11, O12 and O13 associated with the minor boat conformation of the six-membered ring with an occupancy 0.0189 (14). The first two were assigned Uiso-values equal to the Ueq-values of the corresponding atoms of the major chair conformation, while O13 received the same set of anisotropic thermal parameters as O2, from which it is separated by 0.35 Å.

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 > 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. |

2-Diazo-1-(1,1-dioxido-4-thiomorpholinyl)ethanone (I) was prepared as part of a series of diazoacetamides used in the intramolecular C—H insertion reactions taking place upon thermolysis of their corresponding α-bromodiazoacetamides (Kaupang, 2010). The title compound was synthesized from 2-bromo-1-(1,1-dioxido-4-thiomorpholinyl)ethanone following a procedure reported by Toma et al. (2007), modified to employ 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine as the base instead of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene. No previous reports of this compound were found in the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS, American Chemical Society, 2008).
In the crystal (I) occurs in the expected chair conformation, with a very minor fraction [occupancy 0.0189 (14)] in a boat conformation as shown in Fig. 1. The unit cell and crystal packing are depicted in Fig. 2, while a list of six C—H···O/N interactions with H···O distance shorter than 2.60 Å are given in Table 1. The two shortest interactions, with C2—H2 and C5—H52 donors, form C(8) chains along the a axis and dimeric R22(12) ring motifs, respectively (Etter et al., 1990). H52 is also close to the diazo N3 atom and thus participates in a three-center interaction. The interactions of (I) are different from those observed in our previous, related structure of tert-butyl 4-(2-diazoacetyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (Kaupang et al., 2010) where the H of the diazoacetyl group was accepted by the O atom of the same group.
