Abstract:
The title compound, C16H21NO2S, isolated from the reaction of lithiated racemic 2,3,4,4a,5,6,7,8-octahydroquinoline with 0.5 equivalents of (-)-(1R,2S,5R)-menthyl (SS)-p-toluenesulfinate, possesses the unusual conformation in which the OH and bulky p-toluenesulfinyl groups are in axial positions. The S=O bond distance of 1.519 (3) A is longer than expected because of intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the hydroxyl group and the sulfinyl O atom.
