The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, S-(trans-3-methyl-2-oxiranyl)-S-phenyl-N-(p-tolylsulfonyl)sulfoximide, C16H17NO4S2, has two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, which differ significantly only in the conformation of the (p-tolylsulfonyl)sulfoximide group. The powerful electron-withdrawing properties of the sulfoximide substituent produce a marked difference in the C - O bond lengths of the oxirane ring, the nearer bond being substantially shortened relative to the distal bond. The observed structure further demonstrates the high degree of diastereoselectivity in the nucleophilic epoxidation of vinylsulfoximides with lithium tert-buty]-peroxide.
