An intramolecular N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bond occurs. The crystal structure features inversion-related dimers linked by pairs of N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Comment top

The molecular structures of sulfonamide drugs contain the sulfanilamide moiety (Maren, 1976). The propensity for hydrogen bonding in the solid state, due to the presence of various hydrogen bond donors and acceptors can give rise to polymorphism (Yang & Guillory, 1972). The hydrogen bonding preferences of sulfonamides has also been investigated (Adsmond & Grant, 2001). The nature and position of substituents play a significant role on the crystal structures of N-(aryl)sulfonoamides (Gowda et al., 2008a,b, 2010). As a part of studying the substituent effects on the structures of this class of compounds, the structure of 2-chloro-N-(2-methylphenylsulfonyl)- acetamide (I) has been determined. The conformations of the N—H and C=O bonds of the SO₂—NH—CO—C segment in the structure are anti to each other (Fig. 1), similar to that observed in N-(phenylsulfonyl)acetamide (II)(Gowda et al., 2010), N-(phenylsulfonyl)- 2,2-dichloroacetamide (III) (Gowda et al., 2008b) and N-(4-methylphenylsulfonyl)-2,2-dichloroacetamide (IV) (Gowda et al., 2008a).

The molecule in (I) is bent at the S-atom with a C1—S1—N1—C7 torsion angle of -67.0 (3)°, compared to the values of -58.8 (4)° in (II), -66.3 (3)° in (III) and -71.1 (2)° in (IV). Further, the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the SO2—NH—CO—C group in (I) is 78.9 (1)°, compared to the values of 89.0 (2)° in (II), 79.8 (1)° in (III) and 81.0 (1)° in (IV),

The structure exhibits both the intramolecular N—H···Cl and the intermolecular N—H···O(S) hydrogen bonds.

In the crystal structure, the pairs of intermolecular N–H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the molecules through inversion-related dimers into zigzag chains running in the bc-plane. Part of the crystal structure is shown in Fig. 2.

Experimental top

The title compound was prepared by refluxing 2-methylbenzenesulfonamide (0.10 mole) with an excess of chloroacetyl chloride (0.20 mole) for about an hour on a water bath. The reaction mixture was cooled and poured into ice cold water. The resulting solid was separated, washed thoroughly with water and dissolved in warm dilute sodium hydrogen carbonate solution. The title compound was reprecipitated by acidifying the filtered solution with glacial acetic acid. It was filtered, dried and recrystallized from ethanol. The purity of the compound was checked by determining its melting point. It was further characterized by recording its infrared spectra.

Prism like colorless single crystals of the title compound used in X-ray diffraction studies were obtained from a slow evaporation of an ethanolic solution of the compound.

Special details top

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.
