2-Aminoquinolin-8-yl p-toluenesulfonate

L. E. da Silva, A. C. Joussef, S. Foro and B. Schmidt

Abstract: The essentially planar quinoline fragment and the aromatic ring of the toluenesulfonate group of the title compound, C₁₆H₁₄N₂O₃S, form a dihedral angle of 52.2 (1)°; the torsion angle about the central bridge C-O-S-C is -69.3 (2)°. The N-HN and N-HO hydrogen bonds, involving the H atoms of the amino group and the quinoline and sulfonyl N and O atoms [NN = 3.055 (3) Å and NO = 3.058 (2) Å], link the molecules into dimers; a C-HO interaction formed by the CH group in position 4 of the quinoline group [CO = 3.293 (3) Å] further links the dimers into infinite chains running along the diagonal of the ab plane.
