The crystal of the title compound [systematic name: 4-(benzylamino)benzenesulfonamide], C13H14N2O2S, displays a hydrogen-bonded framework structure. Molecules are doubly N—H⋯O hydrogen bonded to one another via their NH2 groups and sulfonyl O atoms. These interactions generate a hydrogen-bonded ladder structure parallel to the a axis, which contains fused R22(8) rings. The NH group serves as the hydrogen-bond donor for a second set of intermolecular N—H⋯O=S interactions.

All H atoms were identified in a difference map. Secondary CH2 (C—H = 0.99 Å) and aromatic carbon atoms (C—H = 0.95 Å) were positioned geometrically and refined with Uiso = 1.2 Ueq(C). Hydrogen atoms attached to N and O were refined with restrained distances [N—H = 0.88 (2) Å]; and their Uiso parameters were refined freely.

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 title compound (synonyms: proseptazine, septazine, benzylsulfanilamide, chemodyn; CAS No. 104–22–3), first marketed in 1936, was one of the early antibacterial agents of the sulfonamide class (Goissedet et al., 1936; Goissedet & Despois, 1938; Mellon et al., 1938; Long & Bliss, 1939). The C–N–(C6H4)–S fragment of the molecule (see Fig. 1) is essentially planar, and the molecular geometry is characterized by the torsion angles N1–S1–C1–C2 and N2–C7–C8–C9 of 43.6 (1)° and -65.9 (2)°, respectively.
The crystal structure contains three independent intermolecular N—H···O=S bonds which lead to the formation of an H-bonded framework. Each molecule is doubly H-bonded, via its NH2 and sulfonyl groups, to two neighbouring molecules. These interactions generate an N—H···O=S-bonded ladder structure parallel to [100], which consists of fused R22(8) rings (Bernstein et al., 1995) and displays a 21 symmetry. This situation is illustrated in Fig. 2. The same one-dimensional structure has been found previously in only a few other compounds of the sulfonamide class, see Davis et al. (1996); Costanzo et al. (1999); Kubicki & Codding (2001);Yathirajan et al. (2005); Denehy et al. (2006); Toumieux et al. (2006).
The sulfonyl oxygen atom O2 accepts an additional H-bond from the NH group of a neighbouring molecule. This interaction links molecules which are related to one another by a 21 operation parallel to the c-axis (see Fig. 3).
