4-(Benzylideneamino)benzenesulfonamide

B. T. Loughrey, M. L. Williams and P. C. Healy

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₃H₁₂N₂O₂S, formed by Schiff base condensation of benzaldehyde with sulfanilamide, crystallizes as discrete molecular species linked by N-HN and N-HO hydrogen bonds between the sulfamide nitrogen H atoms and the azamethine N and one sulfamide O atom, respectively, forming a two-dimensional array in the bc plane. The azamethine group is rotated slightly out of the benzaldehyde benzene plane [C-C-C-N torsion angle = 8.1 (3)°], while the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 30.0 (1)°.
