Crystal structure of (1S,2S,5R)-5-acetyl­amino-4-oxo-2,3-diphenyl-1,3-thia­zinan-1-ium-1-olate

The asymmetric unit of the enanti­omerically pure title compound, C(18)H(18)N(2)O(3)S, comprises two independent mol­ecules (A and B) having almost identical conformations. When overlayed, the alignment–r.m.s. deviation value is 0.30 Å. The six-membered heterocycle has a twisted half-chair conformation in both mol­ecules. The O atom on the S atom of the ring is pseudo-axial on the thia­zine ring and trans to both a phenyl group substituent and the acetamide group in each case. The two benzene rings in each mol­ecule are almost orthogonal to each other, with inter­planar dihedral angles of 83.79 (17) and 86.95 (16)°. The acetamide group is pseudo-equatorial and a phenyl ring is pseudo-axial on the thia­zine ring. Both mol­ecules show a weak intra­molecular C—H⋯O inter­action between H-atom donors of one of the phenyl rings and the acetamide group. In the crystal, an inter­molecular N—H⋯O(thia­zine) hydrogen bond links B mol­ecules along the 2(1) (b) screw axis and, in addition, an N—H⋯O(acetamide) hydrogen bond links A and B mol­ecules across a. A two-dimensional layered structure lying parallel to (001) is generated, also involving weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions.
