In the title molecule, C13H16N2O2S, the nine non-H atoms comprising the indole residue are approximately coplanar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.031 Å). The partially saturated ring adopts a chair conformation. One amine H forms an intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond to a sulfonamide O atom, while the other amine H form is connected to the indole N atom of an adjacent molecule via an N—H⋯N hydrogen bond, resulting in a three-dimensional architecture.

1-Methylcyclohexanone (1.1 g, 10 mmol) in ethanol was refluxed with p-sulfamylphenylhydrazine (2.2 g, 10 mmol) for 1 h. The reaction mixture was cooled and the precipitated solid product was collected by filtration, washed with ethanol, dried and recrystallized from ethanol. Yield: 78%.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions [C—H = 0.95 to 0.99 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C)] and were included in the
in the riding model approximation. The amino H-atoms were located in a difference Fourier map, and were refined with a distance restraint of N—H = 0.88±0.01 Å; their Uiso values were refined.Sulphonamides related to the title compound, 4b-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-carbazole-3-sulfonic acid amide (I), are known to possess biological activity (Al-Saadi et al., 2008). In continuation of structural studies of these systems (Asiri et al., 2011; Asiri et al., 2012), the crystal and molecular structure of (I) is reported herein.
In (I), Fig. 1, the partially saturated ring adopts the conformation of a chair. The nine non-carbon atoms of the indole residue are co-planar, having a r.m.s. deviation of 0.031 Å. With reference to this plane, the C1—C6 ring and the amino group lie to one side, with the methyl group and one sulphonamide-O atom being orientated to the other.
Strong hydrogen bonding interactions dominate the crystal packing. Thus, one amino-H forms a hydrogen bond to the sulphonamide-O1 atom while the others forms a hydrogen bond to the indole-N atom, Table 1. The result is a three-dimensional architecture, Fig. 2.

Sulphonamides related to the title compound, 4b-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-carbazole-3-sulfonic acid amide (I), are known to possess biological activity (Al-Saadi et al., 2008). In continuation of structural studies of these systems (Asiri et al., 2011; Asiri et al., 2012), the crystal and molecular structure of (I) is reported herein.
In (I), Fig. 1, the partially saturated ring adopts the conformation of a chair. The nine non-carbon atoms of the indole residue are co-planar, having a r.m.s. deviation of 0.031 Å. With reference to this plane, the C1—C6 ring and the amino group lie to one side, with the methyl group and one sulphonamide-O atom being orientated to the other.
Strong hydrogen bonding interactions dominate the crystal packing. Thus, one amino-H forms a hydrogen bond to the sulphonamide-O1 atom while the others forms a hydrogen bond to the indole-N atom, Table 1. The result is a three-dimensional architecture, Fig. 2.
