In the title compound, C13H12Cl2O4S, both C=C double bonds adopt an E conformation. The S atom has a distorted tetrahedral geometry with bond angles ranging from 103.03 (12) to 118.12 (13)°. The ethoxycarbonyl group is disordered over two sets of sites, with site-occupancy factors of 0.739 (11) and 0.261 (11). In the crystal, C—H⋯O interactions link the molecules into chains molecules running parallel to the a axis.

Lithium bis(trimethyl silyl)amide(LHMDS) (5.4 ml, 5.7 mmol, 1.06 molar solution in THF) was added drop wise to a 258 K cooled solution of bis 2,4-dichloro phenyl sulfonyl methane (1 g, 2.3 mmol) in distilled THF (15 ml) under argon. After being stirred at 258 K for 1 h, trans ethyl 4-bromo crotonate (2.5 mmol) in distilled THF (5 ml) was added drop wise over a period of 10 min and allowed the reaction mixture to warm up to the room temperature over a period of 1–2 h and stirred at r.t., for 24 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with sat NH4Cl (20 ml) and extracted with EtOAc (2x20 ml) washed with water (2x20 ml) and sat brine (20 ml), the organic layer was dried over MgSO4. Evaporation of the solvent under vacuum furnished desired crude product which was purified by
on silica gel (230–400mesh) with 17–20% of EtOAc in hexane afforded the title compound as a pale yellow solid with 65% yield.Hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H ranging from 0.93 Å to 0.97 Å and refined using a riding model with fixed isotropic displacement parameters: Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(C) for the methyl group and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C) for other groups. The ethoxy carbonyl moiety was disordered over the positions O4/C12/C13:O4 /C12 /C13 with site-occupancy factors of 0.739 (11) and 0.261 (11). 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. |

Phenyl sulfonyl containing compounds show a wide range of biological properties (De Benedetti et al., 1985). The geometric parameters of the title molecule (Fig. 1) agree well with the reported values of similar structures (Sankar et al., 2012; Li, 2011). Both C=C double bonds in the title compound display an E configuration. The dihedral angle between the planes (C5/C6/S1/O1) and (C1/C6/S1/O2) is 42.01 (2)°. The torsion angles C5—C6—S1—O1 and C1—C6—S1—O2 [1.1 (2)° and 50.6 (2)°, respectively] indicate synconformation of the sulfonyl moiety. The S atom exhibits significant deviation from a regular tetrahedron, with the largest deviations being seen for the O1—S1—O2 [118.12 (13)°] and C6—S1—C7 [103.3 (12)°] angles. The widening of the angles may be due to repulsive interactions between the two short S=O bonds, similar to what is observed in related structures (Chakkaravarthi et al., 2008; Rodriguez et al., 1995). The ethoxycarbonyl group is disordered over two conformations with site-occupancy factors of 0.739 (11) and 0.261 (11). The crystal packing is stabilized by C—H···O intermolecular interactions resulting in chains of molecules running along the a-axis (Tab. 1 & Fig. 2).
