In the title compound, C15H21NO4S, both hydroxy groups on the piperidine ring are located in axial positions, whereas the tosyl group and the cyclopropane ring are in equatorial positions. An intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal, molecules form inversion dimers via pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating cyclic R44(8) motifs, as noted previously in related diols.

A mixture of N-(2-cyclopropylallyl)-4-methyl-N–(2-oxoethyl)benzenesulfonamide (1 mmol), ferric chloride hexahydrate (0.1mmol) was stirred in dichloromethane (5 ml) for 24 h. The mixture was concentrated and the residue was purified by flash
with silica gel to afford the title products (yield 55%). Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were grown by slow diffusion of ether into a solution of the compound in dichloromethane.All H atoms were placed in calculated positions, with C—H = 0.93—0.98 Å, and refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Azacyclohexanediol (piperidinediol) derivatives are widely found in natural products and often incorporated into drugs (Nagahama et al., 2003). We report here the crystal structure of the title compound, a 1,3-piperidinediol derivative.
Bond lengths and angles were normal. The distance of N1—C8 and N1—C12 are 1.471 (4) and 1.478 (4) Å, respectively, which are in good agreement with normal N—C bond lengths [reported values range from 1.33 to 1.52 Å]. As shown as in Fig. 1, the two hydroxy groups in piperidine ring adopt a cis conformation. The twist angles of hydroxy groups and the piperidine are 112.0 (3) and 110.3 (3), respectively. Thus, the orientation of both hydroxy groups are axial in reference to the piperidine ring. A comparison with analogous 1,3-cyclohexanediol systems, shows that our observed system is in good agreement with similar 1,3-cyclohexanediols (Hidekazu et al., 2005; Karin et al., 2006). The cyclopropane C13—C15 planes is nearly coplanar with the azacyclohexane ring. A centrosymmetric dimer is generated by intermolecular O—H—O hydrogen bonding, and this has been seen previously in related diols (Ferguson et al., 1993), as shown in Fig. 2.
