N-{4-[(3-Methylphenyl)sulfamoyl]phenyl}benzamide

Abstract

In the title compound, C20H18N2O3S, the dihedral angle between the central benzene ring and the amide group is 24.1 (3)° and that between this ring and the aromatic ring of the tolyl group is 68.2 (16)°. In the crystal, adjacent molecules are linked by N—H...O hydrogen bonds into a linear chain running along [100]. Weak C—H...O contacts also occur. Extensive weak π–π interactions exist from both face-to-face and face-to-edge interactions occur between the aromatic rings [centroid–centroid distances = 3.612 (2) and 4.843 (2) Å].
