N-(3-Methoxybenzoyl)-2-methylbenzenesulfonamide

Abstract

In the title compound, C15H15NO4S, the dihedral angle between the methyl- and methoxy-substituted benzene rings is 88.99 (12)°. An intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal, adjacent molecules form inversion-related dimers through strong N—H...O hydrogen bonds, generating R22(8) loops. The dimers are further connected through C—H...O interactions that form C(8) chains parallel to (001). Molecules are also connected through other C—H...O hydrogen bonds along the b axis, forming additional C(8) chains. Two aromatic π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid separations = 3.6150 (1) and 3.6837 (1) Å] generate a three-dimensional architecture.
