4-Methyl-N-(3-methyl-phen-yl)benzene-sulfonamide
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(14)H(15)NO(2)S, the conformation of the N-C bond in the C-SO(2)-NH-C segment has gauche torsion angles with respect to the S=O bonds. Further, the conformation of the N-H bond is anti to the 3-methyl group in the aniline benzene ring. The mol-ecule is bent at the N atom with a C-SO(2)-NH-C torsion angle of 56.7 (3)°. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 83.9 (1)°. In the crystal, inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds pack the mol-ecules into a supra-molecular structure.

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...
