The indazole ring system of the title compound, C17H18ClN3O4S, is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0113 Å) and forms dihedral angles of 32.22 (8) and 57.5 (3)° with the benzene ring and the mean plane through the 4-ethoxy group, respectively. In the crystal, molecules are connected by pairs of N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into inversion dimers, which are further linked by π–π interactions between the diazole rings [intercentroid distance = 3.4946 (11) Å], forming chains parallel to [101].

A mixture of 3-chloro-1-methyl-5-nitroindazole (1.22 mmol) and anhydrous SnCl2 (1.1 g, 6.1 mmol) in 25 mL of absolute ethanol was heated at 333 K for 6 h. After reduction, the starting material disappeared, and the solution was allowed to cool down. The pH was made slightly basic (pH 7–8) by addition of 5% aqueous potassium bicarbonate before extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with brine and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed to afford the amine, which was immediately dissolved in pyridine (5 ml) and then reacted with 4-metoxybenzenesulfonyl chloride (1.25 mmol) at room temperature for 24 h. After the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo, the resulting residue was purified by flash
(eluted with an ethyl acetate/hexane mixture 1:4 v/v). The title compound was recrystallized from ethanol (yield: 45%, m. p.: 382 K).H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and treated as riding with C–H = 0.93–0.97 Å, N–H = 0.86 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C, N) or 1.5 Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms. Two reflections (010 and 001) were removed from the last cycles of
because affected by the beam stop.Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2009); cell

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. |

Sulfonamides constitute an important class of drugs possessing various types of pharmacological activities such as antibacterial, anti-carbonic anhydrase, high-ceiling diuretic, hypoglycemic, antithyroid, anti-inflammatory, and antiglaucoma activities (El-Sayed et al., 2011; Mustafa et al., 2012; Scozzafava et al., 2003; Bouissane et al., 2006). Recently, some N-[7(6)-indazolyl]arylsulfonamides prepared by our research group showed important antiproliferative activity against some human and murine cell lines (Abbassi et al., 2012; Abbassi et al., 2013; Chicha et al., 2014).
The molecule of the title compound (Fig. 1) is built up from two fused five- and six-membered rings (N1/N2/C1–C7) almost coplanar, with a maximum deviation of 0.020 (2) Å for atom C2. The dihedral angles between the indazole ring system and the mean plane through the benzene ring and the 4-ethoxy-1-methyl group are 32.22 (8) and 57.5 (3)°, respectively. The cohesion of the crystal structure is ensured by N3–H3N···O3 hydrogen bonds (Table 1) between centrosymmetric molecules forming dimers, which are linked by π–π interactions between diazole rings [intercentroid distance = 3.4946 (11) Å] into chains parallel to the [1 0 1] direction (Fig. 2).
