The title compound, C11H16OS2, consists of a five-membered di­thiol­ane ring with a methoxy­bi­cyclo­octene spiro-fused at the 2-position. A few interatomic close contacts seem to influence the geometry of the di­thiol­ane ring.

Ketene equivalents have found widespread use as partners in Diels-Alder reactions for the construction of cyclic, fused and bridged unsaturated ketones (Ranganathan et al., 1977; Aggarwal et al., 1999). The C2-symmetric ketene equivalent has been prepared in racemic and enantiomerically pure forms in four steps, and found to be highly reactive and highly diastereoselective (>97:3) in Diels-Alder reactions (Aggarwal et al., 1995). The advantage of this chiral ketene equivalent is that it requires only two steps to remove the chiral auxilary from the cycloadduct (Aggarwal et al., 1995).

Ketene equivalents have also been used in the synthesis of terpenes (Subba Rao & Kalliappan, 1996; Mirrington & Gregson, 1973; Monti & Yang, 1979). 1-Methoxycyclohexa-1,3-diene has been used as a diene in the Diels-Alder reaction (Evans et al., 1972) and it is also a useful diene in the synthesis of terpenoids (Subba Rao & Kalliappan, 1996; Monti & Yang, 1979).

The C2 symmetric ketene equivalent (Aggarwal et al., 1995) has been investigated with 1-methoxycyclohexa-1,3-diene, under a range of conditions (Aggarwal et al., 1998), giving >97:3 diastereoselectivity in 95% yield.

The title compound, (I), was obtained by reduction of the cycloadduct, according to a literature method (Oea & Drabowicz, 1977). It is a useful starting material for the synthesis of terpenes. The structure determination of (I) was undertaken to understand the effects of the methoxybicyclooctene system and to compare the results with those found in 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazole-1-spiro-2'-[1,3]dithiolane, (II) (Hökelek et al., 1994), spiro[carbazole-1(2H),2'-[1,3]dithiolan]-4(3H)-one, (III) (Hökelek et al., 1998) and 9-acetonyl-3-ethylidene- 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrospiro[carbazole-1,2'-[1,3]dithiolan]-4-one, (IV) (Hökelek et al., 1999).

The title compound, (I), (Fig. 1) consists of a five-membered dithiolane ring with a methoxybicyclooctene spiro-fused at the 2-position; the dithiolane ring adopts a twist conformation. The S atoms of the dithiolane ring have electron-releasing properties, but the O atom of the methoxy group is electron-withdrawing, thereby influencing the bond lengths and angles of the dithiolane ring (Table 1). Some significant changes in the geometry of the dithiolane ring are evident when a few bond angles are compared with the values found in compounds (II)-(IV) (Table 2).

The structure reveals a number of close contacts: S1···H31(C3) 2.562 (38), O1···H31(C3) 2.403 (31), S2···H61(C6) 2.621 (28), S1···H62(C6) 2.602 (48), O1···H7A(C7) 2.639 (3), S2···H10B(C10) 2.556 (2), O1i···H11A(C11) 2.813 (3) and Oii···H9A(C9) 2.869 (3) Å [symmetry codes: (i) x − 1, y, z; (ii) −x + 1, −y + 2, −z + 1]. These interactions may have an influence on the bond lengths and angles and also the shape of the molecule.

Experimental top

The title compound, (I), was prepared according to a literature method (Oea & Drabowicz, 1977), from (1S,1'R,3'R)-1-methoxyspiro[(bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene)-6,2'- (1,3-dithiolane)]-1',3'-dioxide (compound 29a in Aggarwal et al., 1998) (0.127 g, 0.49 mmol) in acetone (3 cm3), sodium iodide (0.366 g, 2.44 mmol) and TFAA (trifluoroacetic anhydride; 0.4 cm3, 2.94 mmol) at 195 K for 7 h. The crude sulfide was subjected to flash chromatography, eluting with acetone/petrol (50:50) and yielded the title compound, (I), as a white solid. It was crystallized from petrol ether (yield 0.035 g, 32%), m.p. 331 K.

Refinement top

Atoms H31, H41, H51, H61 and H62 were located in a difference synthesis and refined isotropically [C—H = 0.87 (4)–1.09 (7) Å]. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically at distances of 0.97 Å (CH2) and 0.96 Å (CH3) from the parent C atoms; a riding model was used during the refinement process.

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.
