Abstract

The title compound, C15H23NO2S, synthesized by N-methyl­ation of cyclo­hexyl­amine sulfonamide with propyl iodide, is of inter­est as a precursor to biologically active sulfur-containing heterocyclic compounds. The cyclo­hexyl ring exists in the chair form and the dihedral angle between the ring plane of the benzene ring and that of the cyclo­hexyl ring is 50.13 (9)°.

Comment

Sulfonamides are well known for their enormous potential as biologically active molecules (Rough et al., 1998). They are being used as anti-microbial (Kayser et al., 2004), anti-convulsant (Arshad et al., 2008), anti-cancer (La Roche & Co, 1967) agents and for the treatment of inflammatory rheumatic and non-rheumatic processes including onsets and traumatologic lesions (Gennarti et al., 1994). In the present paper, the structure of N-cyclohexyl-N-propyl benzene sulfonamide has been determined as part of a research program involving the synthesis and biological evaluation of sulfur containing heterocyclic compounds (Zia-ur-Rehman et al., 2006, 2009; Khan et al., 2009). In the molecule of (I) (Scheme 1; Fig. 1), bond lengths and bond angles are almost similar to those in the related molecules (Gowda et al., 2007a,b,c) and are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). The benzene ring is essentially planar while cyclohexane ring is in chair form. No significant hydrogen bond interactions are observed in the title molecule. The dihedral angle between the phenyl and cyclohexane rings is 50.13 (9)%.

Experimental

A mixture of N-cyclohexylbenzene sulfonamide (1 g, 0.43 mmol), sodium hydride (0.21 g; 0.88 mmoles) and N, N-dimethylformamide (10.0 ml) was stirred at room temperature for half an hour followed by addition of propyl iodide (0.146 g; 0.86 mmoles). Stirring was continued further for a period of three hours and the contents were poured over crushed ice. Precipitated product was isolated, washed and crystallized from methanol.

Refinement

All hydrogen atoms were refined geometrically and treated as riding on their parent atoms. The following distances were used: Aromatic C–H=0.93Å, methine C–H=0.98Å, methylene C–H=0.97Å and methyl C–H=0.96Å U(H) was set to 1.2Ueq of the parent atoms or 1.5Ueq for methyl group.

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.
