Abstract top

The title compound, C7H7ClN2O4S, is of interest as a precursor to biologically active substituted quinolines. Its structure resembles those of the previously reported N-phenylmethane sulfonamide and its 4-nitro, 4-fluoro and 4-bromo derivatives, with slightly different geometric parameters. An intramolecular N-H...O hydrogen bond gives rise to a six-membered ring. Intermolecular C-H...O contacts stabilize the crystal packing.

Comment top

Sulfonamides are familiar for their enormous potential as biologically active molecules (Hanson et al., 1999; Moree et al., 1991; Rough et al., 1998). They are being used as anti-microbial (Ozbek et al., 2007), anti-convulsant (Siddiqui et al., 2007), and for the treatment of inflammatory rheumatic and non-rheumatic processes including onsets and traumatologic lesions (Gennarti et al., 1994). Besides, these are known as compounds being used as agricultural agents and chiral auxiliaries (Ahn et al., 1997; Oppolzer et al., 1991). Among these, alkyl sulfonanilides are of special interest due to their stereochemistry with amide hydrogen on one side of the plane of benzene ring making it a good receptor site for biological reactions. In the present paper, the structure of N-(4-chloro-2-nitrophenyl)methanesulfonamide has been determined as part of a research program involving the synthesis and biological evaluation of sulfur containing heterocyclic compounds (Zia-ur-Rehman et al., 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008). In the molecule of (I) (Fig. 1), bond lengths and bond angles are almost similar to those in the related molecules (Gowda et al., 2007a,b,c) and are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). Intramolecular interaction [N1—H1···O3] is observed in the title molecule giving rise to six-membered hydrogen bonded ring. Each molecule is centrosymmetrically linked to its adjacent one through intermolecular [N1—H1···O1] hydrogen bonds on one side, and via [C5—H5···O2] hydrogen bonds on the other side, giving rise to a zigzag chain along a axis. Each molecule of a chain is further linked to the member of adjacent chain via [C3—H3···O3] hydrogen bonds along c giving rise to a three dimensional network.

Experimental top

A mixture of 4-chloro-2-nitroaniline (3.452 g; 20.0 mmoles) and mesyl chloride (2.52 g; 22.0 mmoles) and toluene (25.0 ml) was heated to reflux for half an hour. Solvent was then distilled off under reduced pressure and the resultant solids were washed with cold methanol. Crystals suitable for analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of methanolic solution over a period of two days.

Refinement top

H atoms bound to C were placed in calculated positions (C—H distance = 0.95 Å) using a riding model. H atoms on N and O were freely refined.

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
