2-(Pyridin-2-yl)-1,3-oxathiane.
The title compound, C(9)H(11)NOS, exhibits a unique structural motif, with free rotation of the aliphatic oxathiane ring about the C-C bond connecting this moiety to the aromatic pyridine ring. The structure elucidation was undertaken due to its potential as a bidentate ligand for organometallic complexes. The oxathiane ring adopts the expected chair conformation, with the S atom in proximity to the N atom on the pyridine ring. The corresponding S-C-C-N torsion angle is 69.07 (14)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules aggregate as centrosymmetric pairs connected by pairs of C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds.
