Abstract top

In the title compound, C7H8N2O5S·C2H6O, the dihedral angle between the aromatic ring and the nitro group is 8.78 (9)° and the S atom is displaced by 0.226 (3) Å from the plane of the aromatic ring. In the crystal, the ethanol molecule is involved in hydrogen bonding to two separate sulfonamide molecules, as a donor in an O-H...O interaction and as an acceptor in an N-H...O interaction. Weak C-H...O hydrogen bonding is also present.

Comment top

Nimesulide is a COX-2 inhibitor that has a high affinity for aromatase. Clinical data for Nimesulide in the treatment of several breast cancer patients have recently been presented (Diaz-Cruz et al., 2005).

The title compound (Fig 1) is an important intermediate in the preparation of nimesulide derivatives. Some derivatives of nimesulide have been reported to have a high affinity for aromatase (Su et al., 2006, Wang et al., 2007). Herein, the synthesis and the crystal structure of the title compound are reported.

The dihedral angle between the plane of the aromatic ring and the plane formed by the three atoms of the nitro group is 8.78 (9)° and the deviation of the Sulfur atom from the plane of the aromatic ring is -0.2258 (27) Å. In the crystal packing, The ethanol molecule is involved in hydrogen bonding to two separate sulfonamide molecules (Table 1), as a donor in an O—H···O interaction and as an acceptor in an N—H···O interaction. Weak C—H···O hydrogen bonding is also present (Fig. 2).

Experimental top

NaH (60% powder, 18 g, 0.75 mol) was added to a solution of 2-amino-4-nitrophenol (19.3 g, 0.125 mol) in anhydrous DMF (200 mL) at room temperature. After being stirred at the same temperature for 30 min, methanesulfonyl chloride (57.3 g, 0.5 mol) was added to the mixture, and the stirring was continued overnight at room temperature. H2O (400 mL) was added to the mixture, and then it was neutralized with 5 N HCl until pH=1–2. The intermediate precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with H2O, which was used iinn the next reaction without further purification. The intermediate was added to a 3 N NaOH aq. solution and was stirred at 353 K overnight. After being cooled, it was neutralized with 5 N HCl until pH=1–2. The precipitated solid was collected and washed with H2O to provide the desired product, which was then recrystalized from ethano to give colourless single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction.

Refinement top

All H atoms were geometrically positioned (C—H 0.95–0.99 Å) and treated as riding, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.
