(Z)-1-(4-Methylphenyl)-2-(phenylsulfonyl)ethanone oxime
Abstract
The molecule of the title compound, C15H15NO3S, has a twisted U-shaped conformation: the twist occurs at the central C—S(=O)2—C—C—C unit and the benzene ring makes a dihedral angle of 28.74 (7)° with the phenyl ring. The S—C—C=N torsion angle is −88.95 (13)°. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of O—H...N hydrogen bonds generate R22(6) loops, and C—H...O hydrogen bonds connect the dimers into a three-dimensional network.
