Crystal structure of 5,5′-bis(dimethylamino)-N,N′-(3-methyl-3-azapentane-1,5-diyl)di(naphthalene-1-sulfonamide)

Abstract

In the title compound, C29H37N5O4S2, two arms substituted with dansyl derivatives are connected to a central tertiary amine, where the dihedral angle between the planes of two dansyl units is 56.39 (4)°. Each arm contains a sulfonamide functional group and both N—H groups in the compound are pointed to the same side. The central part of the molecule is disordered over three sets of sites with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.547 (4):0.328 (4):0.125 (3). No intramolecular π–π or hydrogen-bonding interactions are observed. In the crystal, molecules are linked via pairs of N—H...O interactions involving the same acceptor atom, forming inversion dimers. In addition, C—H...O interactions exist between molecules, providing further stabilization of dimers.
