Sulfimidation of thio-ether crown systems: the X-ray crystal structure of the {[9-ane]S2S(NH2)}+, {[9-ane]SS(NH2)S(NH2)}2+, and {[9-ane]S(NH2)S2( -N)}2+ cations

Treatment of the thio-ether crown [9-ane]S 3 ( 1 ) with 1 equiv of O-mesitylsulfonylhydroxylamine (MSH) yields the water-soluble protonated sulfimide {[9-ane]S 2 S(NH 2 )} + ( 2 ). Two equiv of MSH leads to the formation of {[9-ane]SS(NH 2 )S(NH 2 )} 2+ ( 3 ), while excess MSH generates the {[9-ane]...

Summary:Treatment of the thio-ether crown [9-ane]S 3 ( 1 ) with 1 equiv of O-mesitylsulfonylhydroxylamine (MSH) yields the water-soluble protonated sulfimide {[9-ane]S 2 S(NH 2 )} + ( 2 ). Two equiv of MSH leads to the formation of {[9-ane]SS(NH 2 )S(NH 2 )} 2+ ( 3 ), while excess MSH generates the {[9-ane]S(NH 2 )S 2 ( -N)} 2+ cation ( 4 ) ( 2–4 form as salts of the [Me 3 C 6 H 2 SO 3 ] – anion); the X-ray crystal structure of 2 and 3 confirms that one and two of the ring sulfurs, respectively, have been converted to terminal protonated sulfimides, while that of 4 reveals the presence of both terminal and bridging nitrogens.Key words: sulfur-nitrides, macrocycles, sulfimides, amination.
