A DMSO (10 ml) solution of hydroquinone and p-toluenesulfonyl chloride in the presence of KOH as base was stirred at room temperature for 48 h. Then the mixture was heated to 70°C and 3,4-difluorobenzonitrile was added dropwise. Finally the mixture was washed with water (20 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (three times). The organic solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the product was purified by silica gel
(pentane: ethyl acetate mixtures). Suitable crystals were obtained by slow evaporation of ethanol at room temperature.All H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.93–0.98 Å, and were included in the
in the riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq of the carrier atoms.Data collection: PROCESS-AUTO (Rigaku, 1998); cell

The herbicidal activity of hydroquinone derivatives is well known in the art (Liu, 2002. Bao et al., 2007). As part of our ongoing studies, we now describe the synthesis and the crystal structure of the title compound.
As shown in Fig.1, the terminal C1—C7/S1 phenyl ring, the central benzene ring (C8—C13/O3/O4) and the other terminal phenyl ring (C14—C20/N1) form three planes, with max deviations for fitted atoms of 0.042 Å, 0.022Å and 0.013 Å, respectively. These planes make dihedral angles of 45.0 (1)° and 64.6 (6)° respectively. Otherwise, the molecule is bent at the sulfonate group with the C1—S1—O3—C8 torsion angle of 50.7 (3). The other bond parameters are similar to those observed in 4-Methyl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1-benzopyran-7-yl benzenesulfonate (Yang et al., 2008), (E)-4-[(1,5-Dimethyl-3-oxo-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) iminomethyl]phenyl 4-bromobenzenesulfonate (Han et al., 2008) and 2-Methyl-3-nitrobenzyl cyanide (Chen et al., 2009).
In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked to form pseudo dimers by inter molecular C—H···N hydrogen bonds generating a graph set motif R22(10) (Table 1, Fig.2) (Etter, 1990, Bernstein et al., 1995). In addition, the structure is stabilized by weak C—H···O and van der Waal's interactions.
