Methyl 2-(N-methoxy-carbonyl-meth-yl-N-methylsulfamo-yl)benzoate
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(12)H(15)NO(6)S, the aromatic ring is oriented at dihedral angles of 64.76 (11) and 56.42 (13)° with respect to the planar methyl ester unit and the SO(2) group, respectively. The dihedral angle between the SO(2) group and the planar methoxy-carbonyl-methyl group is 50.42 (14)°. Intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding results in the formation of an eight-membered ring. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules.

The mechanism of methylation unfolds in two stages. The first stage sees a methyltransferase enzyme facilitating the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to the substrate, forming S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH). The second stage involves further metabolism of SAH into homocysteine, which can be recycled...
