The molecule of the title compound, C15H15NO3S, has a twisted U-shaped conformation: the twist occurs at the central C—S(=O)2—C—C—C unit and the benzene ring makes a dihedral angle of 28.74 (7)° with the phenyl ring. The S—C—C=N torsion angle is −88.95 (13)°. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds generate R22(6) loops, and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the dimers into a three-dimensional network.

A mixture of 2-(phenylsulfonyl)-1-p-tolylethanone (0.274 g, 1 mmol), hydroxylamine hydrochloride (0.11 g, 1.5 mmol) and anhydrous sodium acetate (0.123 g, 1.5 mmol) in ethanol (50 ml) was refluxed for 1 h, then left to cool. The reaction mixture was poured into cold water and the solid product was filtered off, washed with water, dried and finally recrystallized from ethanol to afford the title compound as yellow needles.
Atom H1O3 was located in a difference fourier map and refined freely [O3—H1O3 = 0.96 (2) Å]. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically [C—H = 0.93, 0.96 and 0.97 Å] and refined using a riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5Ueq(C). A rotating group model was applied to the methyl group.
Arylsulphones possess interesting biological activities (Stephens et al., 2001; Abdel-Aziz et al., 2010). As part of our studies in this area, we report herein the
of the title compound, (Z)-1-(4-methylphenyl)-2-(phenylsulfonyl)ethanone oxime.The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The molecule adopts a twisted U-shaped conformation. The twist occurs at the central C6–S1–C7–C8–C9 unit and the C1–C6 benzene ring makes a dihedral angle of 28.74 (7)° with the C9–C14 phenyl ring.
In the crystal (Fig. 2), the molecules are linked by O3—H1O3···N1, C2—H2A···O2, C3—H3A···O1, C7—H7A···O1 and C15—H15B···O2 hydrogen bonds (Table 1) into a three-dimensional network.

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1) K. |
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. |

Arylsulphones possess interesting biological activities (Stephens et al., 2001; Abdel-Aziz et al., 2010). As part of our studies in this area, we report herein the crystal structure of the title compound, (Z)-1-(4-methylphenyl)-2-(phenylsulfonyl)ethanone oxime.
The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The molecule adopts a twisted U-shaped conformation. The twist occurs at the central C6–S1–C7–C8–C9 unit and the C1–C6 benzene ring makes a dihedral angle of 28.74 (7)° with the C9–C14 phenyl ring.
In the crystal (Fig. 2), the molecules are linked by O3—H1O3···N1, C2—H2A···O2, C3—H3A···O1, C7—H7A···O1 and C15—H15B···O2 hydrogen bonds (Table 1) into a three-dimensional network.
