Abstract

In the title compound, C10H13NO3S, the N—H and C=O bonds in the SO2—NH—CO—C segment are anti to each other. The benzene ring and the SO2—NH—CO—C segment form a dihedral angle of 87.4 (1)°. The crystal packing features inversion-related dimers linked by pairs of N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Comment

Sulfonamide drugs that exhibit antibacterial activity contain the sulfanilamide moiety (Maren, 1976). It has been postulated that the propensity for hydrogen bonding in the solid state, due to the presence of various hydrogen bond donors and acceptors, can give rise to polymorphism (Yang & Guillory, 1972). The hydrogen bonding preferences of sulfonamides have also been investigated (Adsmond & Grant, 2001). The nature and position of substituents play a significant role in the crystal structures of N-(aryl)sulfonoamides (Gowda et al., 2008a, b, c).

As part of our substituent effect studies, the structure of (I) has been determined. The N—H and C=O bonds of the SO2—NH—CO—C segment in (I) are anti to each other (Fig. 1), similar to that observed in N-(phenylsulfonyl)2,2,2-trimethylacetamide (II)(Gowda et al., 2008c), N-(phenylsulfonyl)2,2-dichloroacetamide (III) (Gowda et al., 2008a) and other sulfonoamides (Gowda et al., 2008b). The SO2—NH—CO—C segment forms a dihedral angle of 87.4 (1)° with the benzene ring, compared to values of 83.2 (1) and 76.0 (1)° (for the two independent molecules of (II)) and 79.8 (1)° in (III). In the crystal the molecules form inversion-related dimers along the c axis, linked by pairs of N—H···O(S) hydrogen bonds (Table 1, Fig.2).

Experimental

The title compound was prepared by refluxing benzenesulfonamide (0.10 mole) with an excess of isobutanoyl chloride (0.20 mole) for about an hour on a water bath. The reaction mixture was cooled and poured into ice cold water. The resulting solid was separated, washed thoroughly with water and dissolved in warm dilute sodium hydrogen carbonate solution. The title compound was reprecipitated by acidifying the filtered solution with glacial acetic acid. It was filtered, dried and recrystallized from ethanol. The purity of the compound was checked by determining its melting point. It was characterized by recording its infrared spectra. Single crystals of the title compound used for X-ray diffraction studies were obtained from a slow evaporation of an ethanolic solution of the compound.

Refinement

The H atom of the NH group was located in a difference map and and its position refined with N—H = 0.81 (4) Å. The other H atoms were positioned with idealized geometry using a riding model with C—H = 0.93–0.98 Å.

All H atoms were refined with isotropic displacement parameters (set to 1.2 times of the Ueq of the parent atom).

Special details

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
