“…The geometry of a sulfoxide is pyramidal, with a high energy barrier for inversion, making it possible to isolate stable enantiomers (Bentley, 2005). Herein, we report the crystal structure of the sulfoxide of N-[(2S,5R)-4-oxo-2,3diphenyl-1,3-thiazinan-5-yl]acetamide (Yennawar, Singh & Silverberg, 2015), C 18 H 18 N 2 O 3 S, prepared using the method ISSN 2056-9890 we have reported previously for the oxidation of other 2,3diphenyl-1,3-thiazin-4-ones (Yennawar et al, 2016;Yennawar, Noble et al, 2017) and 1,3-thiazolidinones (Yennawar, Hullihen et al, 2015;Cannon et al, 2015). The oxidation of the confirmed enantiopure sulfide N-[(2S,5R)-4-oxo-2,3-diphenyl-1,3-thiazinan-5-yl]acetamide 0.375-hydrate (Yennawar, Singh & Silverberg, 2015), derived from N-acetyl-l-cysteine, yielded a single stereoisomer as the only product.…”
