This compound was synthesized from benzylamine and vinylsulfonylbenzene by Dr. J. Gabriel Garcia. It was recrystallized by very slow cooling of an ethanol solution.
The coordinates and isotropic displacement parameter of the amine hydrogen atom were refined without constraint. All other H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C(sp2)—H = 0.930 Å, C(sp3)—H = 0.970 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C), and thereafter allowed to ride the attached C atom. The
is supported by analysis of 2081 Bijvoet pairs, with Flack (1983) parameter x = 0.07 (6) and Hooft (Hooft et al., 2008) parameter y = 0.12 (2).The most striking feature of title compound (I), a secondary amine, is the intramolecular hydrogen bond between a sulfonyl oxygen and the amine hydrogen. The complete geometry of this system is: N—H = 0.87 (2) Å, H···O = 2.52 (2) Å, N—H···O = 122 (2)°, S═O···H = 97 (2)°. The two six-rings are flat: C1—C6, δr.m.s. = 0.0049 Å, C10—C15, δr.m.s. = 0.0024 Å. The was determined by analysis of 2081 Bijvoet pairs.
In addition to the intramolecular hydrogen bond, weaker intermolecular C—H···O and C—H···π interactions (Steiner, 1996) are present. The geometry of the C—H···O interaction is C7–H7A···O1 (at x + 1, y, z), C7···O1 3.3896 (18) Å, H7A···O1 2.44 Å, angle about H 166°, forming chains in the [100] direction. The C—H···π interaction involves the phenyl C4—H as donor and the other phenyl ring C10—C15 (at 1 - x, y - 1/2, 1 - z) as acceptor. The C4···Cg distance is 3.731 (2) Å, and the contact is fairly linear, with angle about H 174°. This interaction forms chains in the [010] direction, propagated by the screw axis.

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. |

The most striking feature of title compound (I), a secondary amine, is the intramolecular hydrogen bond between a sulfonyl oxygen and the amine hydrogen. The complete geometry of this system is: N—H = 0.87 (2) Å, H···O = 2.52 (2) Å, N—H···O = 122 (2)°, S═O···H = 97 (2)°. The two six-rings are flat: C1—C6, δr.m.s. = 0.0049 Å, C10—C15, δr.m.s. = 0.0024 Å. The absolute structure was determined by analysis of 2081 Bijvoet pairs.
In addition to the intramolecular hydrogen bond, weaker intermolecular C—H···O and C—H···π interactions (Steiner, 1996) are present. The geometry of the C—H···O interaction is C7–H7A···O1 (at x + 1, y, z), C7···O1 3.3896 (18) Å, H7A···O1 2.44 Å, angle about H 166°, forming chains in the [100] direction. The C—H···π interaction involves the phenyl C4—H as donor and the other phenyl ring C10—C15 (at 1 - x, y - 1/2, 1 - z) as acceptor. The C4···Cg distance is 3.731 (2) Å, and the contact is fairly linear, with angle about H 174°. This interaction forms chains in the [010] direction, propagated by the screw axis.
