Methyl 4-(4-methylbenzamido)-2-sulfamoylbenzoate

Abstract

The title compound, C16H16N2O5S, is a potent new fungicide. There are two molecules in the asymmetric unit which are linked by C—H...π interactions, forming a dimer. The two phenyl rings in each molecules are almost coplanar, with C—N—C—C torsion angles of 177.6 (2) and −172.5 (2)°. There are intermolecular and intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds in the crystal structure.
