Ethyl {[bis(methylsulfanyl)methylidene]amino}acetate was reacted with phenyl isocyanate at low temperature (-75°) under basic conditions, in order to obtain the oxazole derivative which is a intermediate suitable for the formation of the oxazolo[5,4-b]quinoline system. Surprisingly, this reaction gave in a high yield a different crystal intermediate, whose structure was characterized by IR, NMR and X-ray studies. Yield: 66.7%. Colorless crystals; mp: 103°C; IR (νmax, cm-1): 3283 (–NH amidic); 2982, 2930, 2891 (–CH aliph.); 1733 (C=O ester); 1687 (C=O amidic); 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d 6): d 1.17 (t, J = 7.1 Hz, 3H) –CH3; 2.46 (s, 3H) –SCH3; 2.59 (s, 3H) –SCH3; 4.14 (q, J = 7.1, 2H) –CH2; 5.00 (s, 1H) –CH; 7.07 (t, J = 7.8 Hz, 1H) –H4; 7.31 (d, J = 7.8 Hz, 2H) –H3, –H5; 7.61 (d, J = 8.4 Hz, 2H) –H2, –H6; 9.97 (s, 1H) –NH–; 13C NMR (101 MHz, DMSO– d 6): d 14.42, 14.98, 15.26, 61.69, 69.68, 120.03, 124.33, 129.20, 138.74, 165.34, 167.06.
The H atom of the amine group (N1/H1F) was located in a difference map and refined isotropically with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N). The N-H distance was restrained to 0.92 (2)Å. H atoms attached to C atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and refined as riding on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.95–0.99 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C), for aromatic and methylene groups and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl groups.

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. |

Quinoline fused five-membered heterocyclic compounds have been the subject of sustained interest because many of them have cytotoxic properties. Thus, they are potential antitumor agents (Adams et al., 2002). We have reported the synthesis and cytotoxic activity of several thiazolo[5,4-b]quinoline (TQ) derivatives (Rodríguez-Loaiza et al., 2004; Loza-Mejía et al., 2008; Loza-Mejía et al., 2009.). During a study on the synthesis of new oxazolo[5,4-b]quinoline derivatives, which can be considered as analogues of TQ, the preparation of a key intermediate was tried by using a procedure previously reported by our group.
In the title compound, the asymmetric unit consist of one molecule of the ethyl-2-{[bis(methylsulfanyl)methylidene]amino}-3-oxo-3-(phenylamino)-propanoate (Fig. 1). The planes formed by phenyl ring C1/C6 (equation plane: 6.499 (4) x + 3.679 (6) y - 5.701 (6) z = 0.613 (6)) and the N1—C7/O1—C8 group (equation plane: 6.941 (4) x + 3.217 (7) y - 4.499 (8) z = 1.040 (4)) are almost coplanar with a dihedral angle between them of 7.64 (11)°; of the same way the dihedral angle of 8.34 (9)° between planes formed by N1—C7/O1—C8 and S1—C12/N2—S2 (equation plane: 7.465 (2) x + 2.049 (5) y - 4.965 (2) z = 0.633 (9)) evidence the coplanarity. On the other hand, the plane formed by C8—C9/O2—O3 (equation plane: - 3.115 (6) x + 8.551 (3) y + 1.760 (9) z = 3.314 (1)) shows a behavior near to orthogonality with the other planes.
In the crystal structure there are intermolecular C—H···O contacts (Table 1) connecting the molecules to a three-dimensional network.
