The title compound (systematic name: N,N-diethyl-3-mesitylsulfonyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-carboxamide), C16H22N4O3S, is a triazole herbicide. The dihedral angle between the planes of the triazole and benzene ring planes is 88.14 (10)°. In the crystal, C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak C—H⋯π interactions link adjacent molecules, forming one-dimensional chains along the a axis.

The title compound was purchased from the Dr. Ehrenstorfer GmbH Company. Slow evaporation of a solution in CH3CN gave single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis.
All H-atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with d(C—H) = 0.98 Å, Uiso = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl group, d(C—H) = 0.99 Å, Uiso = 1.2Ueq(C) for Csp3—H, d(C—H) = 0.95 Å, Uiso = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic C—H.
Cafenstrole, or N,N-diethyl-3-mesitylsulfonyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-carboxamide, is a triazole herbicide and has been used for rice cultivation which especially inhibits the germination of grass weeds (Takahashi et al., 2001). However, until now its
has not been reported. In the title compound (Fig. 1), the dihedral angle between the planes of the triazole ring and the phenyl ring planes is 88.14 (10)°. All bond lengths and bond angles are normal and comparable to those observed in similar (Ohkata et al., 2002).In the
(Fig. 2, Table 1), C11—H11···O2 hydrogen bonds and weak intermolecular C7—H7C···Cg1 (Cg1 is the centroid of the C1–C6 ring) interactions link adjacent molecules, forming one-dimensional chains along to a-axis.For information on the herbicidal properties of the title compound, see: Takahashi et al.

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. |

Cafenstrole, or N,N-diethyl-3-mesitylsulfonyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-carboxamide, is a triazole herbicide and has been used for rice cultivation which especially inhibits the germination of grass weeds (Takahashi et al., 2001). However, until now its crystal structure has not been reported. In the title compound (Fig. 1), the dihedral angle between the planes of the triazole ring and the phenyl ring planes is 88.14 (10)°. All bond lengths and bond angles are normal and comparable to those observed in similar crystal structure (Ohkata et al., 2002).
In the crystal structure (Fig. 2, Table 1), C11—H11···O2 hydrogen bonds and weak intermolecular C7—H7C···Cg1 (Cg1 is the centroid of the C1–C6 ring) interactions link adjacent molecules, forming one-dimensional chains along to a-axis.
