In the title molecule, C13H11N3O6S, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 35.52 (8)°. An intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond forms an S(6) ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains along [101] incorporating R22(8) and R22(16) rings.

All chemicals were obtained from commercial sources and used directly without further purification. 2-Aminobenzenesulfonamide (0.72 g, 1 mmol) was dissolved in 10 ml of dry tetrahydrofuran/ dichloromethane (1:1 v/v), then cooled to 273K. 4-Nitrophenyl carbonochloridate (0.2 g, 1 mmol) was added to the solution in a round-bottom flask, followed by triethylamine (0.14 ml, 1 mmol). The solution was stirred for 1 h at the same temperature and then 2h at room temperature. White solid powder precipitated out (0.307 g, yield: 91%). This was was filtered off, washed with distilled water and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. It was characterized by its
to be the title compound (I). Colorless plate crystals suitable for X-ray were grown from a co-solvent system methanol/dichloromethane (1:20 v/v) solution by slow evaporation at 277K for a week.H atoms bonded to C atoms were located in difference Fourier maps and were subsequently placed in idealized positions with C—H distances of 0.95Å. They were included in the refinemnt in a riding-motion approxmation with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). H atoms bonded to N atoms were refined independently with isotropic displacement parameters.

Experimental. All work was done at 180 K using an Oxford Cryosystems Cryostream Cooler. The data collection strategy was set up to measure a hemisphere of reciprocal space with a redundancy factor of 3.6, which means that 90% of these reflections were measured at least 3.6 times. Phi and omega scans with a frame width of 2.0 degrees were used. Data integration was done with DENZO, and scaling and merging of the data was done with SCALEPACK. |
Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. The hydrogen atoms bonded to the nitrogen atoms were located on difference electron density maps, added to the model at these positions and refined isotropically. All three N—H groups are involved in intra and intermolecular hydrogen bonds with the oxygen atoms bonded to the S atom and with the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group. The rest of the hydrogen atoms were included in the model at calculated positions using a riding model with U(H) = 1.2*Ueq(bonded atom). 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 > 2σ(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 (I) is an important intermediate in drug discovery. It was obtained by reacting 2-aminobenzenesulfonamide with 4-nitrophenyl carbonochloridate through a modified procedure by Mallakpour & Rafiee (2007). The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings (C1-C6 and C8-C13) is 35.52 (8)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked via N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Fig.2) into one-dimensional chains along [101], incorporating R22(8) and R22(16) rings (Bernstein et al., 1995). There is also an intramolecular N—H···O hydrogen bond forming an S(6) ring.
