This article is part of the collection Early Career Scientists in Structural Science.

The crystal structure of 1-[(4-methyl­phen­yl)sulfon­yl]-2-phenyl­azetidine, C16H17NO2S, commonly referred to as 2-phenyl-N-tosyl­azetidine, is reported. There are three close con­tacts stabilizing the supra­molecular structure. Two of the close con­tacts are between one of the O atoms on the sulfonamide moiety and two neighboring C—H bonds from the tolyl ring. The third close con­tact is between the H—C bond of the azetidine and a C atom on the phenyl ring. Distances between the tolyl rings are greater than the standard distance of 5 Å for π-stacking.

1. Chemical con­text

Azetidines, highly strained four-membered nitro­gen-con­taining heterocycles, serve as unique linchpin motifs due to their prevalence in biologically relevant com­pounds and their propensity for ring-opening reaction pathways (Alberto et al., 2008View full citation). As such, the synthesis of new azetidine motifs is necessary for the development of novel pharmaceutical and agrochemical com­pounds and has garnered a resurging inter­est by synthetic and medicinal chemists alike (Bauer et al., 2021View full citation). This resurgence is due to unique physiochemical and pharmokinetic properties which make them attractive targets for drug development (Cheekatla, 2026View full citation). As such, azetidines are used strategically in drug development as bioisteres for their five- and six-membered ring counterparts, such as piperidines and pyrrolidines (Feskov et al., 2019View full citation; Meanwell & Loiseleur, 2022View full citation; Kirichock et al., 2024View full citation). This renewed inter­est in the azetidine moiety is evident by the increased number of FDA approved drugs that con­tain an azetidine moiety over the last ten years (Gelato et al., 2026View full citation). Examples of small-mol­ecule drugs that con­tain an azetidine moiety include tebanicline, a non-opioid analgesic, ximelagatran, an anti­coagulant, and delafloxacin, an anti­biotic (Parmar et al., 2021View full citation; Mughal & Szostak, 2021View full citation).

Efficient synthetic approaches that install the azetidine motif are required to meet the demand of medicinal chemists. The most common strategies include intra­molecular nucleophilic substitution reactions and UV- or blue-light-mediated aza-Paternò–Büchi reactions (Brandi et al., 2008View full citation; Richardson et al., 2020View full citation). Another common approach to accessing azetidine motifs includes functionalizing 3-azetidinones which allows for a variety of functionalization reactions, such as a Wittig addition or Grignard addition at the ketone (Dejaegher et al., 2002View full citation). Alternatively, 2-azetidinones, which are building blocks for β-lactams, can be reduced to yield the desired azetidine (Alcaide et al., 2013View full citation). Cumulatively, these synthetic methods rely on pre-functionalized starting materials and classic synthetic approaches.

Herein, we report the crystal structure of 1-[(4-methyl­phen­yl)sulfon­yl]-2-phenyl­azetidine (2-phenyl-N-tosyl­az­e­ti­dine). 2-Phenyl-N-tosyl­azetidine was synthesized via a two-step synthesis from β-phenyl­alanine. β-Phenyl­alanine was sub­jected to a lithium aluminium hydride reduction in quantative yield and was carried forward without further purification into an intra­molecular substitution reaction which yielded the desired 2-phenyl-N-tosyl­azetidine.

2. Structural commentary

The structural features for 2-phenyl-N-tosyl­azetidine as shown in Fig. 1[link] are reported below. The bond lengths of the azetidine ring are N1—C1 = 1.500 (2) Å, N1—C3 = 1.499 (2) Å, C1—C2 = 1.539 (3) Å, and C2—C3 = 1.552 (3) Å. The bond distances within the azetidine ring are consistent with literature reports (Taggi et al., 2000View full citation). A related com­pound, 2-(4-bromo­phen­yl)-1-[(4-methyl­phen­yl)sulfon­yl]azetidine, reports C—N bond lengths of 1.567 and 1.488 Å, respectivly, and C—C bond lengths of 1.648 and 1.474 Å, which are consistent with the title com­pound (Malik & Pandey, 2022View full citation). The bond lengths of the sulfonamide are N1—S1 = 1.6319 (16) Å, S1—O1 = 1.4340 (14) Å, S1—O2 = 1.4361 (14) Å, and S1—C14 = 1.761 (2) Å. The bond lengths of the S atom on the sulfonamide moiety are consistent with literature values from prior reports (Syed et al., 2011View full citation). Similar bond lengths for the sulfonamide group of the related com­pound are reported as follows: S—N = 1.611 Å, S—C = 1.749 Å, S—O1 = 1.462 Å, and S—O2 = 1.452 Å (Malik & Pandey, 2022View full citation).

The bond angles within the azetidine ring are C3—N1—C1 = 91.48 (14)°, N1—C1—C2 = 87.70 (14)°, C1—C2—C3 = 88.04 (14)°, and N1—C3—C2 = 87.29 (13)°, which are consistent with prior reports for N-tosyl­azetidines (Taggi et al., 2000View full citation). The related com­pound 2-(4-bromo­phen­yl)-1-[(4-methyl­phen­yl)sulfon­yl]azetidine reports similar bond angles within the azetidine moiety, with a C—N—C bond angle of 93.21° (Malik & Pandey, 2022View full citation). The bond angles around the S atom of the sulfonamide moiety are O1—S1—O2 = 120.64 (9)°, O1—S1—N1 = 106.31 (8)°, O1—S1—C14 = 107.76 (9)°, O2—S1—N1 = 105.86 (8)°, O2—S1—C14 = 108.26 (9)°, and N1—S1—C14 = 107.25 (9)°, which are also consistent with prior reports (Syed et al., 2011View full citation). Bond angles around the sulfonamide moiety of the related com­pound include an O—S—O angle of 121.94°, O—S—N angles of 98.82 and 112.22°, and a C—S—N angle of 107.09° which are consistent with the title com­pound (Malik & Pandey, 2022View full citation)

3. Supra­molecular features

Four 2-phenyl-N-tosyl­azetidine mol­ecules are shown in the unit cell (Fig. 2[link]). Three H⋯X bonds stablize the supra­molecular structure, with the corresponding distances indicating hy­dro­gen-bonding inter­actions. The H15⋯O1 in­ter­action is at a distance of 2.645 Å, the H16⋯O1 inter­action is at a distance of 2.669 Å, and the H1⋯C5 inter­action is at a distance of 2.907 Å. Additionally, there is a relatively close C12⋯C13 distance of 3.532 Å. The distance between the centroid of the C11–C16 aryl ring and another C11–C16 centroid on a neighboring mol­ecule is 5.560 Å, which is outside the range expected for π-stacking (Janiak, 2000View full citation). The centroid algorithm in the program Mercury was used to place the centroids resulting in the measured distance (Macrae et al., 2020View full citation).

4. Database survey

A database search in the Cambridge Structural Database (WebCSD, Version of 2026) on 15 June 2026 produced no structural results (Groom et al., 2016View full citation). Additionally, a search in Scifinder (Scifinder, 2026View full citation) yielded a com­pound match for the racemic com­pound 1-[(4-methyl­phen­yl)sulfon­yl]-2-phenyl­azetidine (code 38455-36-6). Matches for both the S and R enanti­omers, (2S)-1-[(4-methyl­phen­yl)sulfon­yl]-2-phenyl­azeti­dine (code 936011-91-5) and (2R)-1-[(4-methyl­phen­yl)sulfon­yl]-2-phenyl­azetidine (code 1079366-88-3), were also found. While both racemic and enanti­opure forms of the structure have been synthesized and characterized, no structural data has been reported. However, a related com­pound, 2-(4-bromo­phen­yl)-1-[(4-methyl­phen­yl)sulfon­yl]azetidine, has been re­por­ted with bond angles and bond lengths similar to those determined for the title azetidine, 2-phenyl-N-tosyl­azetidine (deposition No. 762724; Malik & Pandey, 2022View full citation).

5. Synthesis and crystallization

2-Phenyl-N-tosyl­azetidine was synthesized in two steps (Fig. 3[link]). The first step was a lithium aluminium hydride reduction of β-phenyl­alanine that was modified from the literature (Sanford et al., 2020View full citation). A flame-dried round-bottomed flask equipped with a stir bar was charged with β-phenyl­alanine (3.31 g, 20.0 mmol, 1.00 equiv.) and tetra­hydro­furan (THF; 100 ml, 0.2 M in substrate). The reaction flask was cooled to 0 °C and lithium aluminium hydride (16.5 ml, 66.0 mmol, 3.30 equiv., 4.00 M solution in THF) was added dropwise. The reaction flask was warmed to room tem­per­a­ture and stirred overnight. The reaction was worked up according to the Fieser workup, where X ml is equal to X grams of LiAlH4 used (Chandra & Zebrowski, 2024View full citation). For example, in this reaction, X grams of lithium aluminium hydride equals 2.5 g (66 mmol), so 2.5 ml of water (X ml), 2.5 ml of 15% aqueous NaOH solution (X ml), and 7.5 ml of water (3X ml) were added respectively as described below. The reaction was diluted with neat Et2O and cooled to 0 °C. Water (2.5 ml, X ml) was added slowly, followed by the addition of 15% aqueous NaOH (2.5 ml, X ml) and then by a second slow addition of water (7.5 ml, 3X ml). The reaction was allowed to warm to room tem­per­a­ture and left to stir for 15 min. Mg2SO4 was then added to the reaction mixture and left to stir for an additional 15 min. The precipitates were removed by vacuum filtration and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The white solid, γ-amino­benzene­propanol, was carried forward without further purification (2.68 g, 17.8 mmol, 89% yield). 1H NMR analysis is consistent with literature reports (Torre et al., 2006View full citation).

The second step, an intra­molecular substitution of γ-amino­benzene­propanol, was also adapted from prior reports (Wang et al., 2026View full citation). To a flamed-dried round-bottomed flask equipped with a stir bar, NaOH (0.48 g, 12 mmol, 3.0 equiv.) and THF (6 ml, 2 M in NaOH) were added. In a separate flame-dried round-bottomed flask, a solution of γ-amino­benzene­propanol (0.61 g, 4.0 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) was dissolved in THF (10 ml, 0.4 M in γ-amino­benzene­propanol) and added to the reaction mixture dropwise at room tem­per­a­ture. Next, toluene­sulfonic acid (0.84 g, 4.4 mmol, 1.1 equiv.) was added to the reaction mixture in portions. The reaction mixture was then heated to reflux and allowed to stir for 3 h. After com­pletion, the reaction mixture was diluted with cold deionized water (30 ml) and extracted with EtOAc (×3). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting oil was purified by flash column chromatography (0–25% EtOAc/hexa­nes) to afford a white solid (0.398 g, 1.39 mmol, 35% yield). 1H NMR analysis is consistent with literature reports (Prasad et al., 2004View full citation). The melting-point range was 103–105 °C. A singular crystal was grown via vapor diffusion by dissolving 10 mg of 2-phenyl-N-tosyl­azetidine in 0.5 ml of ethyl acetate. Ethyl acetate was used as the solvent and hexa­nes as the anti-solvent.

6. Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 1[link]. H atoms that were tertiary CH and secondary CH2 were refined using a riding model. The methyl group was refined as an idealized rotating methyl group. Fixed atomic displacement parameters [Uiso(H)] were set at 1.2 times Uiso(C) for all CH and CH2 groups, and 1.5 times for all CH3 groups.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
