Structure and absolute configuration of 10-chloro-10-sulfinylcamphor, C10H13ClO2S

Abstract

The structure of the title compound, C10H13ClO2S, was determined by X-rays:Mr=232.72, monoclinic, space groupP21,a=6.4902(6),b=12.022(1),c=14.130(3) A,β=103.11(1)°,Vc=1073.7 A3,Z=4,Dx=1.44 Mg m−3. MoKα radiation (graphite crystal monochromator, λ=0.71069 A),μ(MoKα)=4.9 cm−1,F(000)=342,T=293 K. Final conventionalR-factor=0.035 for 2221 observed reflections and 252 variables. The structure was solved usingDirdif. The absolute configuration of the structure is reported. The two independent molecules differ primarily in the orientation of the sulfine group with respect to the camphor moiety.
