Abstract
The indazole ring system [maximum deviation = 0.013 (2) Å] of the title compound, C15H15N3O3S, makes a dihedral angle of 50.11 (7)° with the benzene ring. In the crystal, cohesion is provided by C—H⋯O and N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, which link the molecules into chains propagating along the b-axis direction.

1. Comment
Sulfonamide derivatives are well known pharmaceutical agents since this group has been the main functional part of the most of the drug structures due to stability and tolerance in human beings. These compounds exhibit a wide range of biological activities such as anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral functions (Abbassi et al., 2012; Bouissane et al., 2006; El-Sayed et al., 2011; Mustafa et al., 2012). The present work is a continuation of the investigation of the sulfonamide derivatives published recently by our team (Abbassi et al., 2013; Chicha et al., 2013).
The molecule of 4-Methoxy-N-(1-methyl-1H-indazol-5-yl)-benzenesulfonamide is built up from the fused five- and six-membered rings (N2 N3 C1—C7) linked to the benzenesulfonamide group as shown in Fig. 1. The fused rings system is planar, with the maximum deviation of -0.013 (2) Å for N2 atom. Moreover, the dihedral angle between the indazole system and the plan through the atoms forming the benzene ring (C9—C14) is of 50.11 (7)°.
In the crystal, the molecules are interconnected by C8–H8A···O1 and N1–H1···N2 hydrogen bonds forming a one-dimensional chain running along the b axis as shown in Fig.2 and Table 2.
2. Experimental
A mixture of 1-methyl-5-nitroindazole (1.22 mmol) and anhydrous SnCl2 (1.1 g, 6.1 mmol) in 25 ml of absolute ethanol was heated at 333 K for 6 h. After reduction, the starting material disappeared, and the solution was allowed to cool down. The pH was made slightly basic (pH 7–8) by addition of 5% aqueous potassium bicarbonate before extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with brine and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed to afford the amine, which was immediately dissolved in pyridine (5 ml) and then reacted with 4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl chloride (1.25 mmol) at room temperature for 24 h. After the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo, the resulting residue was purified by flash chromatography (eluted with Ethyl acetate: Hexane 1:9). The title compound was recrystallized from acetone.
3. Refinement
H atoms were located in a difference map and treated as riding with C–H = 0.96 Å, C–H = 0.93 Å, and N–H = 0.89 Å for methyl, aromatic CH and NH respectively. All hydrogen with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq (aromatic, NH) and Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq for methyl.

Special details
| Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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. |
