N-Cyclododecyl-5-(dimethylamino)naphthalene-1-sulfonamide

Abstract

The molecule of the title compound, C24H36N2O2S, displays a U-shaped conformation. The prominent intermolecular interactions are N—H...O hydrogen bonds, resulting in the formation of dimers. Additional C—H...π contacts involving one of the methylene groups of the macrocycle and the naphthalene rings of a neighbouring molecule stabilize the packing structure. In the crystal structure, the cyclododecyl ring is disordered over two positions; the site occupancy factors are ca 0.86 and 0.14.
