In title compound, C14H12N2O5S, the dihedral angle between the sulfonyl benzene ring and the —SO2—NH—C—O segment is 81.5 (2)° and that between the sulfonyl and the benzoyl benzene rings is 89.8 (1)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked into chains along the b axis via intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. C—H⋯O interactions are also observed.

The title compound was prepared by refluxing a mixture of 4-nitrobenzoic acid, 4-methylbenzenesulfonamide and phosphorous oxychloride for 3 hr on a water bath. The resultant mixture was cooled and poured into ice cold water. The solid obtained was filtered, washed thoroughly with water and then dissolved in sodium bicarbonate solution. The compound was later reprecipitated by acidifying the filtered solution with dilute HCl. It was filtered, dried and recrystallized.
The rod like colourless single crystals of the title compound used in X-ray diffraction studies were obtained by slow evaporation of a toluene solution at room temperature.
The H atom of the NH group was located in a difference map and later restrained to N—H = 0.86 (3) Å. The other H atoms were positioned with idealized geometry using a riding model with the aromatic C—H distance = 0.93 Å and methyl C—H = 0.96 Å. All H atoms were refined with isotropic displacement parameters (set to 1.2 times of the Ueq of the parent atom).

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. |

The amide and sulfonamide moieties are important constituents of many biologically significant compounds. As a part of studying the effect of substituents on the structures of this class of compounds (Gowda et al., 2005, 2007; Suchetan et al., 2010a,b), the structure of 4-methyl-N-(4-nitrobenzoyl)-benzenesulfonamide (I) has been determined. The conformation of the N—H bond in the C—SO2—NH—C(O) segment is anti to the C=O bond (Fig.1), similar to those observed in N-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-4- methylbenzenesulfonamide (II) (Suchetan et al., 2010a) and 4-methyl-N-(4-methylbenzoyl)-benzenesulfonamide (III) (Suchetan et al., 2010b).
The molecules are twisted at the S atoms with the C—S(O2)—NH—C(O) torsional angle of 58.7 (3)°, compared to the values of 67.1 (2)° (molecule 1) and 67.7 (2)° (molecule 2) in (II) and 62.0 (2)° in (III).
The dihedral angle between the sulfonyl benzene ring and the —SO2—NH—C—O segment is 81.5 (2)°, compared to the values of 83.6 (1)° (molecule 1) and 81.0 (1)° (molecule 2) in (II) and 84.9 (1)° in (III).
The dihedral angle between the sulfonyl and the benzoyl benzene rings is 89.8 (1)°, compared to the values of 81.0 (1)° (molecule 1) and 76.3 (1)° (molecule 2) in (II) and 89.0 (1)° in (III).
In the crystal packing the molecules are linked by intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1, Fig. 2). Two C—H···O interactions are also observed.
