The P atom in the title molecule, C10H23ClN3O2P, has a distorted tetrahedral coordination. In the C(O)NHP(O) unit, which has syn-oriented phosphoryl and N—H groups, the P—N bond of 1.703 (2) Å is longer and the O—P—N angle of 103.86 (7)° is contracted compared with the respective values in the two P(O)NHC(CH3)3 units [P—N = 1.632 (2) and 1.624 (2) Å; O—P—N = 116.80 (8) and 115.32 (8)°]. In the crystal, each molecule is hydrogen bonded to two adjacent molecules via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a linear sequence of alternating R22(8) and R22(12)/R21(6)-fused rings along [010]. The O atom of the carbonyl group acts as a double H-atom acceptor.

Synthesis of CH2ClC(O)NHP(O)Cl2: The reaction of phosphorus pentachloride (33.9 mmol) and 2-chloroacetamide (33.9 mmol) in dry benzene (40 ml) at 353 K (3 h) and then the treatment of formic acid (33.9 mmol) at ice-bath temperature (2.5 h), then removing the solvent in vacuum, leads to the formation of CH2ClC(O)NHP(O)Cl2 as solid product.
Synthesis of the title molecule: To a solution of CH2ClC(O)NHP(O)Cl2 (2.42 mmol) in CHCl3 (20 ml), a solution of tert-butylamine (9.68 mmol) in CHCl3 (10 ml) was added dropwise at 273 K. After 4 h of stirring, the solvent was evaporated in vacuum. The obtained solid was washed with distilled water. Single crystals were obtained from a solution of the title molecule in CHCl3 after slow evaporation at room temperature. IR (KBr, cm-1): 3376, 3324, 3104, 2971, 2913, 1692, 1486, 1396, 1186, 1023, 880, 818.
H atoms were positioned geometrically with C—H = 0.99 and 0.98 Å for methylene and methyl H atoms, respectively, and with constrained distances N—H = 0.87 (1) Å in a riding model on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2 times Ueq(N/C); the positions of H atoms of the methyl groups were rotationally optimized. Few low angle reflections were omitted as they were located behind the beam stop.

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. |

The structure of the title molecule, P(O)[NHC(O)CH2Cl][NHC(CH3)3]2 (Fig. 1), was determined as a part of the work on the synthesis of new phosphoramidate compounds containing a P(O)NHC(O) moiety (Pourayoubi et al., 2011).
Single crystals were obtained from a solution of CHCl3 after slow evaporation at room temperature. The P═O and C═O bond lengths and the P—N—C bond angles are within the expected values for this category of molecules (Pourayoubi et al., 2011). The P atom has a distorted tetrahedral configuration, as has been noted for the other phosphoric triamides. As expected, the P—N2 and P—N3 bonds are shorter than the P—N1 bond. In the C(O)NHP(O) moiety, the phosphoryl group has a syn orientation with respect to the N—H unit. The two other N—H units have an anti configuration relative to the P═O group.
In the crystal packing, each molecule is H-bonded to two neighbouring molecules through the NC(O)NHP(O)—H···(O)P hydrogen bonds and the [N—H]2···(O)C grouping, forming a sequence of alternated R22(8) and R22(12)R21(6) rings (for graph-set definition in hydrogen bond motifs, see: Bernstein et al., 1995) in a linear arrangement parallel to the y axis, Fig. 2 and Table 1. The carbonyl oxygen atom acts as a double hydrogen bond acceptor (Steiner, 2002).
