(2SR,3RS)-Methyl 2-(adamantan-1-yl)-3-phenyl-sulfonyl-3-(pyridin-2-ylsulfan-yl)propano-ate dichloro-methane hemisolvate.

The title compound, C(25)H(29)NO(4)S(2) 0.5CH(2)Cl(2), was obtained as a racemate. The pyridine and phenyl rings are arranged face-to-face, giving a weak intra-molecular π-π inter-action [centroid-centroid separation = 3.759†(3)†à ]. These inter-actions are extended inter-molecularly, forming chains of stacked rings along [001] with separations of 3.859†(3) and 3.916†(3)†à . The solvent used for crystallization, CH(2)Cl(2), is located in voids between the chains of mol-ecules, with a site occupancy of 0.5.
