The title compound, C14H19N3O7S, is a potent new herbicide. X-ray analysis reveals that the nitro group is twisted away from the benzene ring and the glutamine residue adopts a folded conformation. The crystal packing is stabilized by inter­molecular N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds.

Comment top

Based on the reported 2.8 Å high-resolution crystal structure of yeast AHAS (acetohydroxyacid synthase) complex (Pang et al., 2003), we obtained 300 molecules with low binding energy toward AHAS from MDL/ACD three-dimensional database searching, using the program DOCK 4.0 (Wang et al., 2005). These potential structures provide information for further design of new targeted AHAS herbicidal molecules. According to the structural information and bioactivity data of 5-N-substituted-2-(substituted benzenesulfonyl)glutamine, a series of these derivatives have been designed and synthesized. The X-ray crystal structure determination of the title compound, (I), was undertaken to investigate the relationship between structure and herbicidal activity.

The bond lengths and angles in (I) show normal values (Table 1). The O3—S1—O4 angle [120.39 (10)°] deviates significantly from the ideal tetrahedral value. The O—N—C—C torsion angles indicate that the nitro group is twisted away from the plane of the benzene ring (Fig. 1). In the glutamine residue, the ψ1 (N2—C7—C8—O5), ψ2 (N2—C7—C8—O6), χ1 (N2—C7—C9—C10) and χ2 (C7—C9—C10—C11) torsion angles are 11.2 (3), −169.67 (16), 66.3 (2) and −62.7 (2)°, respectively; the two planar groups in the residue, C7/C8/O5/O6 and C10/C11/O7/N3, form a dihedral angle of 32.0 (1)°.

The molecular structure is stabilized by intramolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 2). The crystal structure involves intermolecular O—H···O and N—H···O hydrogen bonds, which link the molecules into a layer parallel to the ab plane (Fig. 2).

Experimental top

Compound (I) was prepared according to the procedure of Srikanth et al. (2002). Colourless single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis were obtained by recrystallization from ethanol and water (8:2 v/v).

Refinement top

The amine and hydroxy H atoms were located in a difference map and refined isotropically (see Table 2 for distances). The C-bound H atoms were placed in calculated positions, with C—H = 0.93–0.98 Å, and included in the final cycles of refinement using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl).

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.
