The title compound, C14H12N4O3S, is an intermediate of Dexlansoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) mainly developed for anti-ulcer activity. The of the title compound was determined as R. The reveals that the molecules form chains along the b axis through N—H⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen-bonded dimers. These chains are connected via weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

A mixture of
title compound I ((R)-(+)) (12 g, 0.038 mol) and acetone (264 ml) were heated to 45–50 °C until clear solution obtained. The resulting clear solution was cooled to -5 to 0 °C and stirred for 1.0–1.5 h. The precipitated I (RS)-(±) was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated under vacuum at below 45 °C to obtain thick residue of the title compound I ((R)-(+)). The resulting thick residue of the title compound I ((R)-(+)) was dissolved in dichloromethane and kept for slow solvent evaporation to grow single crystals.The C-bound H atoms were geometrically placed (C—H = 0.95 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(parent atom).

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
Refinement. Refinement was performed using all reflections. The weighted R-factor (wR) and goodness of fit (S) are based on F2. R-factor (gt) are based on F. The threshold expression of F2 > 2.0 σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factor (gt). |

Dexlansoprazole II ((R)-(+)) (Fig. 1), (R)-enantiomer of Lansoprazole, is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) mainly developed for anti-ulcer activity by TAP Pharmaceuticals Ltd., employing new modified-release technology (Arimori et al. 1998; Masa et al. 2001). Dexlansoprazole II ((R)-(+)) was first approved by United States Food and Drug Administration (US-FDA) in the form of 30 and 60 mg capsules for the management of patients with erosive oesophagitis and non-erosive reflux disease (GERD or GORD), under the brand name of DEXILANT.
An alternative and large-scale synthetic method for II ((R)-(+)) was developed in our laboratory by employing asymmetric oxidation conditions on prochiral nitrosulfide intermediate to yield enantiomerically enriched nitro sulphoxide derivative of the title compound I ((R)-(+)) as first stage intermediate (>90% ee) (Kumar et al. 2009). Titanium derived chiral complex (2.2:1.1:0.6 ratio of Titanium (IV)-i-propoxide:(+)-Diethyl L-tartrate:Water) was used in the reaction to induce the chirality. The enantiomerically enriched title compound I ((R)-(+)) as a resultant was subjected to acetone mediated crystallization to yield enantiopure I ((R)-(+)) (>97% ee) which on treatment with potassium salt of 2,2,2-triflouroethanol in dimethylformamide (DMF) yielded Dexlansoprazole II ((R)-(+)) with ICH quality having >99.8% ee.
The structure and stereochemistry of Dexlansoprazole II ((R)-(+)) was well established in the literature with various spectroscopic and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (Fujishima et al. 2002). Herein we have determined the absolute configuration of the title compound I as `R' by anomalous dispersion (Fig. 2). The Flack parameter value, -0.02 (4) for the assigned absolute configuration, suggest that it is correct with high accuracy. The title compound is enantipure sulphoxide containing substituents of benzimidazole and 2-(3-methyl-4-nitro-pyridin-2-yl) methane moieties with dextro (d)- optical configuration. The crystal structure reveals that title molecules are forming chains along the b axis through N1—H···N2 and C2—H···O1 hydrogen-bonded dimers. Such chains are connected via weak C12—H···O2 hydrogen bonds (Fig. 3).
