N-(2-Hy-droxy-1,1-dimethyl-eth-yl)-4-methyl-benzene-sulfonamide
Abstract:
In the title mol-ecule, C(11)H(17)NO(3)S, the S atom has a distorted tetra-hedral geometry [maximum deviation: O-S-O = 119.08 (9)°]. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected by inter-molecular N-H⋯O, O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers of mol-ecules aligned parallel to (110). The 2-methyl-propan-1-ol group of the mol-ecule is disordered over two positions with an 0.592 (4):0.408 (4) occupancy ratio.

For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
