Abstract

In the title compound, C₁₃H₁₀N₂O₅S, the dihedral angle between the phenyl and benzene rings is 86.7 (1)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked into zigzag C(4) chains running along the b axis via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Comment

Diaryl acylsulfonamides are known as potent antitumor agents against a broad spectrum of human tumor xenografts in nude mice. As part of our studies on the substituent effects on the structures and other aspects of N-(aryl)-amides (Bowes et al., 2003; Gowda et al., 2004), N-(aryl)-methanesulfonamides (Jayalakshmi & Gowda, 2004), N-(aryl)-arylsulfonamides (Gowda et al., 2003); N-(substitutedbenzoyl)-arylsulfonamides (Suchetan et al., 2010) and N-chloro-arylsulfonamides (Gowda et al., 1996), in the present work, the crystal structure of N-(benzoyl)- 3-nitrobenzenesulfonamide (I) has been determined (Fig.1).

The conformations of the N—H and C=O bonds in the C—SO₂—NH—C(O) segment are anti to each other (Fig.1), similar to that observed in N-(benzoyl)-2-methylbenzenesulfonamide (II)(Suchetan et al., 2010). Further, The N—C bond in the C—SO₂—NH—C segment has gauche torsion with respect to the S═O bonds. In (I), the conformation between the N—H bond and the meta-nitro group in the sulfonyl benzene ring is syn.

The molecule is twisted at the S atom with the torsional angle of -62.80 (17)°, compared to the value of 68.8 (4)° in (II).

The dihedral angle between the sulfonyl benzene ring and the —SO₂—NH—C—O segment is 79.2 (1)°, compared to the value of 84.8 (1)° in (II). Furthermore, the dihedral angle between the sulfonyl and the benzoyl benzene rings is 86.7 (1)°, compared to the value of 73.9 (1)° in (II).

The packing of molecules linked by of N—H···O(S) hydrogen bonds(Table 1) is shown in Fig. 2.

Experimental

The title compound was prepared by refluxing a mixture of benzoic acid (0.02 mole), 3-nitrobenzenesulfonamide (0.02 mole) and excess phosphorous oxy chloride for 3 h on a water bath. The resultant mixture was cooled and poured into crushed ice. The solid, N-(benzoyl)-3-nitrobenzenesulfonamide, obtained was filtered, washed thoroughly with water and then dissolved in sodium bicarbonate solution. The compound was later reprecipitated by acidifying the filtered solution with dilute HCl. It was filtered, dried and recrystallized.

Rod like colourless single crystals of the title compound used in X-ray diffraction studies were obtained by slow evaporation of its toluene solution at room temperature.
