In the title compound, C14H13BrN2O2S, a novel sulfonamide derivative, intermolecular N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link neighbouring molecules into different dimers along the b axis, generating R22(8) and R22(16) ring motifs. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 82.39 (13)°. The is further stabilized by intermolecular π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.867 (2)–3.9548 (8) Å].

p-Tosylhydrazine (2 mmol) was added to a 50 ml refluxing ethanolic solution of 4-bromobenzaldehyde (2 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 2 h. After cooling, the colorless crystalline solid was isolated by filtration, washed with cold ethanol, and re-crystallized from ethanol.
H atom bound to N1 was located from the difference Fourier map and refined freely; see Table 1. The rest of the hydrogen atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding model. A rotating group model was used for the methyl group. The highest peak (0.63 e.Å-3) is located 1.77 Å from H2A and the deepest hole (-0.56 e.Å-3) is located 1.47 Å from H2A. The
was twinned by a pseudo-twofold rotation about (0 1 0) with a refined BASF ratio of 0.115 (1)/0.885 (1).Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2005); cell

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cyrosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1) K. |
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. |

Sulfonamides were the first class of antimicrobial agents to be discovered. They inhibit dihydropteroate synthetase in the bacterial folic acid pathway. Although their clinical role has diminished, they are still useful in certain situations, because of its efficacy and low cost (Krygowski et al., 1998). Sulfonamides (sulfanilamide, sulfamethoxazole, sulfafurazole) are structural analogues of p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and compete with PABA to block its conversion to dihydrofolic acid. These agents are generally used in combination with other drugs (usually sulfonamides) to prevent or treat a number of bacterial and parasitic infections (Tierney et al., 2006). Because of the above impotrtant features, we report the crystal structure of the title compound.
The title compund (Fig. 1), is a novel sulfonamide derivative. Bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within the normal ranges and are comparable with the related staructures (Kia et al. 2008a,b; Mehrabi et al., 2008; Ali et al. 2007). Intermolecular N—H···O and C—H···O hydrogen bonds link neighbouring molecules by R22(8) and R22(16) ring motifs (Bernstein et al., 1995), respectively, into different dimers along the b axis. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 82.39 (13)°. The crystal structure is further stabilized by intermolecular π-π stacking interactions [Cg1···Cg1 iii = 3.9319 (15) and Cg2···Cg2iv = 3.8677 (16) Å; the perpendicular distances are 3.6548 (10) and 3.6189 (11) Å, respectively. Symmetry codes: (iii) -x, 2 - y, 1 - z; (iv) 2 - x, 1 - y, 2 - z].
