The solution of chlorobenzene (10 ml) in chloroform (40 ml) was treated dropwise with chlorosulfonic acid (25 ml) at 0 ° C. After the initial evolution of hydrogen chloride subsided, the reaction mixture was brought to room temperature and poured into crushed ice in a beaker. The chloroform layer was separated, washed with cold water and allowed to evaporate slowly. The residual 4-chlorobenzenesulfonylchloride was treated with 2,3-dichloroaniline in the stoichiometric ratio and boiled for ten minutes. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature and added to ice cold water (100 ml). The resultant 4-chloro-N-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)- benzenesulfonamide was filtered under suction and washed thoroughly with cold water. It was then recrystallized to constant melting point from dilute ethanol. The purity of the compound was checked and characterized by recording its infrared and NMR spectra.
Prism like colorless single crystals used in X-ray diffraction studies were grown in ethanolic solution by slow evaporation at room temperature.
The H atom of the NH group was located in a diffrerence and its coordinates were refined with the N—H distance restrained to 0.86 (2) Å. The other H atoms were positioned with idealized geometry using a riding model [C—H = 0.93 Å]. All H atoms were refined with isotropic displacement parameters set to 1.2 times of the Ueq of the parent atom.
As part of a study of the substituent effects on the crystal structures of N-(aryl)-arylsulfonamides (Gowda et al., 2010; Nirmala et al., 2010; Shakuntala et al., 2010), in the present work, the structure of 4-chloro-N-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-benzenesulfonamide (I) has been determined. The conformation of the N—C bond in the C—SO2—NH—C segment of the structure has gauche torsions with respect to the S═ O bonds (Fig. 1). The molecule is bent at the S atom with the C—SO2—NH—C torsion angle of -56.7 (2)°, compared to the values of 65.4 (2) and -61.7 (2) in the two molecules of N-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)- 4-methylbenzenesulfonamide (II) (Shakuntala et al., 2010). The conformations of the N—H bond and the ortho-chloro group in the anilino benzene ring are syn to each other.
The sulfonyl and the anilino benzene rings in (I) are tilted relative to each other by 56.5 (1)°, compared to the values of 76.0 (1)° (molecule 1) and 79.9 (1)° (molecule 2) in (II).
The other bond parameters in (I) are similar to those observed in (II), N-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-2,4-dimethylbenzenesulfonamide (Nirmala et al., 2010), N-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-4-chlorobenzene- sulfonamide (Gowda et al., 2010) and other aryl
(Perlovich et al., 2006; Gelbrich et al., 2007).The structure shows N—H···O intermolecular H-bonding (Table 1). The crystal packing is shown in Fig. 2.

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. |

As part of a study of the substituent effects on the crystal structures of N-(aryl)-arylsulfonamides (Gowda et al., 2010; Nirmala et al., 2010; Shakuntala et al., 2010), in the present work, the structure of 4-chloro-N-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-benzenesulfonamide (I) has been determined. The conformation of the N—C bond in the C—SO2—NH—C segment of the structure has gauche torsions with respect to the S═ O bonds (Fig. 1). The molecule is bent at the S atom with the C—SO2—NH—C torsion angle of -56.7 (2)°, compared to the values of 65.4 (2) and -61.7 (2) in the two molecules of N-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)- 4-methylbenzenesulfonamide (II) (Shakuntala et al., 2010). The conformations of the N—H bond and the ortho-chloro group in the anilino benzene ring are syn to each other.
The sulfonyl and the anilino benzene rings in (I) are tilted relative to each other by 56.5 (1)°, compared to the values of 76.0 (1)° (molecule 1) and 79.9 (1)° (molecule 2) in (II).
The other bond parameters in (I) are similar to those observed in (II), N-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-2,4-dimethylbenzenesulfonamide (Nirmala et al., 2010), N-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-4-chlorobenzene- sulfonamide (Gowda et al., 2010) and other aryl sulfonamides, (Perlovich et al., 2006; Gelbrich et al., 2007).
The structure shows N—H···O intermolecular H-bonding (Table 1). The crystal packing is shown in Fig. 2.
