The molecule of the title compound, C32H48O4P2S2, has 2 symmetry, the mid-point of the S—S bond being located on a twofold rotation axis. The two tetrahedral P units are linked by a S—S bond with a P—S—S—P torsion angle is 131.19 (6)°. The dihedral angle between two phenyl rings is 12.66 (13)°. The cyclohexane ring of the menthoxyl group displays a chair conformation. Weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.

Sulfuryl chloride (0.3 mmol) was added to a stirred ether solution of (Rp)-O-menthyl phenylphosphonothioate (0.6 mmol) in a Schlenk tube under nitrogen, and the mixture was stirred for 4 h at 273 K. After washing with water and removing solvents, the resulting residue was purified by preparative TLC on silica gel to afford optically pure product. The crystal suit for X-ray diffraction was obtained from recrystallization with ethyl ether.
All H atoms attached to C atoms were fixed geometrically and treated as riding with C—H = 0.93 - 0.98 Å, with Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(methyl) and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C) for all other H atoms.
Chiral phosphorus compounds have been widely used in both chemistry and biology (Perlikowska & Daran, 2004). The P-chiral title compound was synthesized by (Rp)-O-menthyl phenylphosphonothioate and sulfuryl chloride. The fully extended substituents phenyl, menthoxy link to phosphorus atom, and the two phosphorus atoms are connected by dithio bond to form two similar P-centered irregular tetrahedrons. The angle of O2—P—S1 and O1—P—S1 are 113.31 (9) ° and 95.11 (7) °. Intermolecular C6—H6···O2 hydrogen bonds is observed in the

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. |

Chiral phosphorus compounds have been widely used in both chemistry and biology (Perlikowska & Daran, 2004). The P-chiral title compound was synthesized by (Rp)-O-menthyl phenylphosphonothioate and sulfuryl chloride. The fully extended substituents phenyl, menthoxy link to phosphorus atom, and the two phosphorus atoms are connected by dithio bond to form two similar P-centered irregular tetrahedrons. The angle of O2—P—S1 and O1—P—S1 are 113.31 (9) ° and 95.11 (7) °. Intermolecular C6—H6···O2 hydrogen bonds is observed in the crystal structure (Table 1).
