A solution of 1,3-dichlorobenzene (10 ml) in chloroform (40 ml) was treated dropwise with chlorosulfonic acid (25 ml) at 273 K. 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 2,4-dichlorobenzenesulfonylchloride was treated with 3,5-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 solid 2,4-dichloro-N-(3,5-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 (Savitha & Gowda, 2006). Prism like light pink single crystals used in X-ray diffraction studies were grown in ethanolic solution by slow evaporation of the solvent at room temperature.
The H atoms of the NH group was located in a difference Fourier map and refined with the N—H distance restrained to 0.86 (2) Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N). All other H atoms were positioned with idealized geometry using a riding model with C—H = 0.93 Å,and refined with Uiso(H) values set at 1.2Ueq(C).

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 sulfonamide moiety is the constituent of many biologically significant compounds. The hydrogen bonding preferences of sulfonamides have been investigated (Adsmond & Grant, 2001). As part of our studies on the substituent effects on the structures and other aspects of N-(aryl)-amides (Gowda et al., 2000), N-(aryl)-methanesulfonamides (Gowda et al., 2007), N-(aryl)-arylsulfonamides (Gowda et al., 2009; Shetty & Gowda, 2005) and N-(chloro)-arylsulfonamides (Gowda et al., 2003), in the present work, the crystal structure of 2,4-dichloro-N-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)benzenesulfonamide (I) has been determined (Fig. 1).
In (I), the N—H bond in the C—SO2—NH—C segment is syn with respect to the ortho-Cl atom of the sulfonylbenzene ring and one of the meta-Cl atoms of the anilino ring. The molecule is bent at the S atom with the C—SO2—NH—C torsion angle of -93.9 (2)°, compared to the value of -48.2 (2)° in 2,4-dichloro-N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-benzenesulfonamide (II) (Gowda et al., 2009). The sulfonyl and the aniline benzene rings are tilted relative to each other by 61.9 (1)°, compared to the value of 68.9 (1)° in (II). The other bond parameters in (I) are similar to those observed in (II) and other aryl sulfonamides (Perlovich et al., 2006; Gelbrich et al., 2007). In the crystal, intermolecular N–H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the molecules into dimeric units. Part of the crystal structure is shown in Fig. 2.
