In the title sulfanilamide derivative, C15H13NO2S, which shows significant activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, the dihedral angle between the planes of the aromatic rings is 62.15 (19)° and the four-coordinate S atom adopts an almost ideal tetra­hedral geometry. In the crystal, N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into a three-dimensional network.

Structure description

In 1932, a drug called Prontosil was discovered by the pharmaceutical division of IG Farbenindustrie, an industrial conglomerate of German companies, including Bayer Company. It was found to be very successful treating several diseases in humans, provoked by Staphylococcus and Streptococcus. Prontosil was the first anti­bacterial drug, with life-saving capability, to be used systematically for the treatment of bacterial infections in the body. It belongs to a family of compounds called sulfa drugs or sulfonamides. In the 1940s and 1950s, most of the sulfa drugs were replaced by penicillin and other drugs, which proved to be more effective against more types of bacteria. However, nowadays, some sulfa drugs such as sulfamethoxazole, in combination with trimethoprim (co-trimoxazole), are still used extensively to inhibit the growth of bacteria that produce opportunistic infections in patients with AIDS, and bacterial infections such as pneumonia, bronchitis and infections of the urinary tract, ears and intestines (Brumfitt & Hamilton-Miller, 1993[Brumfitt, W. & Hamilton-Miller, J. M. (1993). J. Chemother. 5, 465-469.]).

As part of our studies in this area we now report the synthesis of of the title sulfanilamide derivative, 1, and its crystal structure. This compound, has been found to be very effective against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, and minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 12.5 µg ml−1 and 25.0 µg ml−1 have been obtained respectively (Cabezas & Arias, 2019[Cabezas, J. A. & Arias, M. L. (2019). Int. J. Curr. Res, 11, 5224-5227.]).

The crystal structure of 1 has monoclinic symmetry with one mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit: the mol­ecular structure consists of a benzene­sulfonamide fragment bound to a benzene ring bearing in its 3-position a propyne substituent (Fig. 1[link]): the dihedral angle between the C1–C6 and C10–C15 benzene rings is 62.15 (19)°. The length of the carbon–carbon triple bond (C7≡C8) is 1.181 (5) Å, with the C7—C8—C9 and C8—C7—C1 angles being 178.8 (4) and 178.1 (4)°, respectively, which are slightly distorted from the expected linear geometry. The calculation of the angular structural index (τ4 = 0.94; and τ4' = 0.90) for the four-coordinate S1 atom, which binds to O1, O2, N1 and C10 from the benzene ring (Yang et al., 2007[Yang, L., Powell, D. R. & Houser, R. P. (2007). Dalton Trans. pp. 955-964.]; Okuniewski et al., 2015[Okuniewski, A., Rosiak, D., Chojnacki, J. & Becker, B. (2015). Polyhedron, 90, 47-57.]; Rosiak et al., 2018[Rosiak, D., Okuniewski, A. & Chojnacki, J. (2018). Polyhedron, 146, 35-41.]) indicates that it adopts an almost ideal tetra­hedral geometry (τ4 = 0 for an ideal square and 1 for an ideal tetra­hedron). In the extended structure of 1, weak N1—H1⋯O2, C4—H4⋯O1 and C6—H6⋯O1 hydrogen bonds are observed (Table 1[link], Fig. 2[link]), leading to the formation of a three-dimensional network.

Synthesis and crystallization

The title compound, 1, was synthesized by treatment of 3-iodo­aniline, 2, with benzene­sulfonyl chloride, 3, in the presence of pyridine, at room temperature to obtain, after purification by column chromatography (ether:hexane, 40:60), iodo­sulfonamide, 4, in 75% yield. This aromatic iodide 4, was treated with propyne, under Sonogashira's reaction conditions (Sonogashira et al., 1975[Sonogashira, K., Tohda, Y. & Hagihara, N. (1975). Tetrahedron Lett. 16, 4467-4470.]), using CuI and (Ph3P)2PdCl2 as catalysts, (Fig. 3[link]). After purification by column chromatography, using a solvent mixture of hexa­ne:ethyl acetate (75:25), compound 1 was isolated in 70% yield, and with an overall yield of 53%. The product was recrystallized from ethyl acetate solution at room temperature to result in light-yellow blocks of the title compound.

Special details top

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. All hydrogen atoms were placed geometrically and refined using a riding-atom model approximation, with C—H = 0.95–1.00 Å, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). A rotating group model was used for the methyl groups.
