Abstract

In the title compound, C14H13NO3S, the conformation of the N—H bond in the C—SO2—NH—C(O) segment is anti to the C=O bond. The dihedral angle between the sulfonyl benzene ring and the S—N—C—O segment (r.m.s. deviation = 0.039 Å) is 77.1 (1)° and that between the sulfonyl and benzoyl benzene rings is 71.9 (1)°.

Comment

As a part of studying the effect of ring and the side chain substituents on the crystal structures of N-aromatic sulfonamides (Gowda et al., 2009; Suchetan et al., 2009, 2010), the crystal structure of N-(4-methylbenzoyl)benzenesulfonamide has been determined (Fig. 1). The conformation of the N—H bond in the C—SO2—NH—C(O) segment is anti to the C═O bond, similar to those observed in N-(benzoyl)benzenesulfonamide (II) (Gowda et al., 2009), N-(benzoyl)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide (III) (Suchetan et al., 2010) and N-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-benzenesulfonamide (IV) (Suchetan et al., 2009).

The molecules are twisted at the S—N bonds with the C—SO2—NH—C torsional angle of 67.4 (1)°, compared to the values of -66.9 (3)° in (II), 73.2 (2)° in (III) and 69.4 (2)° in (IV).

The dihedral angle between the sulfonyl-bound benzene ring and the S—N—C—O segment (r.m.s. deviation 0.039 Å) is 77.1 (1)°, compared to the values of 86.5 (1)° in (II), 76.5 (1)° in (III) and 75.7 (1)° in (IV).

The dihedral angle between the sulfonyl and the benzoyl benzene rings is 71.9 (1)°, compared to the values of 80.3 (1) in (II), 79.4 (1)° in (III), and 68.6 (1)° in (IV).

Experimental

The title compound was prepared by refluxing a mixture of 4-methylbenzoic acid, benzenesulfonamide and phosphorous oxy chloride for 3 h on a water bath. The resultant mixture was cooled and poured into ice cold water. The solid obtained was filtered, washed thoroughly with water and then dissolved in a sodium bicarbonate solution. The compound was later reprecipitated by acidifying the filtered solution with dilute HCl. It was filtered, dried and recrystallized. Colourless needle-shaped single crystals of the title compound used in X-ray diffraction studies were obtained by slow evaporation of its toluene solution at room temperature.

Refinement

H atoms were positioned with idealized geometry using a riding model with N–H = 0.86 Å, C–H = 0.93–0.96 Å and 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.
