The title compound, C11H23NO5P+·I−, consists of an eight-membered cationic heterocyclic ring in a boat–chair conformation. The ring features a tetraalkylammonium N and a methylphosphonate P atom. A –CH2(CO)OC2H5 ester side chain at the C adjacent to oxygen produces two chiral centers at that substituted C atom and the P atom, both of which were determined to have absolute R,R configurations. A previously determined racemic bromide analog has exactly the same ring but with a –C15H31 side chain. In that structure, both chiral centers show the same relative R/S,R/S configurations, but the ring in the bromide analog is in a boat conformation.

Synthesis of this class of compounds has been described (Kumaravel et al., 1994; Hubieki et al., 1996). A suitable single-crystal was kindly supplied by Dr. J. H. Rouden.
All H atoms were placed in calculated positions guided by difference maps. The C—H bond distances were constrained to the range from 0.98 to 1.00 Å, and Uiso= 1.2Ueq (1.5 for methyl groups), thereafter refined as riding. A torsional parameter was refined for each methyl group.
The
was determined by analysis of Bijvoet pairs: the Flack (Flack, 1983) parameter = 0.006 (7), the Hooft (Hooft et al., 2008) parameter = 0.006 (6) and P2(true) = 1.000.Data collection: COLLECT (Bruker 2004); cell

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. |

The title compound (I) is an analog of 2,6,6-trimethyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxa- 6-azonia-2-phosphocyclooctane bromide (compound II, CSD code YEVZUU, Allen, 2002), originally targeted for use as a reaction-intermediate inhibitor of carnitine acyltransferase (Kumaravel et al., 1994; Kumaravel et al., 1995). Both compounds contain the same 8-membered cationic heterocyclic ring (C7H16NO3P) with two chiral centers at C3 and P1, but with different side chains at C3.
Compound I crystallizes as the R,R enantiomer, whereas II crystallizes as a racemate with R/S,R/S relative configurations. In I, the ring is in the boat-chair conformation, the lowest energy conformer of paradigmatic cyclooctane (Chem3DPro, Cambridgesoft, 2010), but surprisingly the ring in II is in the boat conformation, which in cyclooctane is a higher energy conformer.
