N-Cyclo-hexyl-4-meth-oxy-benzene-sulfonamide
This study details the molecular structure of a novel compound, C(13)H(19)NO(3)S, revealing a distorted tetrahedral sulfur atom and a chair conformation cyclohexane ring. Molecules form zigzag chains via intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the crystal structure.
Area of Science:
- Crystallography
- Molecular Chemistry
Background:
- Understanding the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in molecules is crucial for predicting chemical properties and reactivity.
- Crystal structure analysis provides detailed insights into molecular geometry and intermolecular interactions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To elucidate the detailed crystal structure and molecular geometry of the compound C(13)H(19)NO(3)S.
- To investigate the intermolecular interactions governing the crystal packing.
Main Methods:
- Single-crystal X-ray diffraction was employed to determine the molecular and crystal structure.
- Analysis of bond angles, bond lengths, and intermolecular contacts was performed.
Main Results:
- The sulfur atom exhibits a distorted tetrahedral geometry with a specific O-S-O bond angle of 120.39(18)°.
- The cyclohexane ring adopts a chair conformation.
- Intermolecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link molecules into zigzag chains along the c-axis.
Conclusions:
- The study provides a precise description of the molecular structure and crystal packing of C(13)H(19)NO(3)S.
- The identified hydrogen bonding network is a key feature influencing the solid-state architecture.

Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Amides and Nitriles
The IUPAC and common names of amides are derived from the parent carboxylic acid, by replacing the suffix “oic acid” and “ic acid,” respectively, with “amide.” In the following example, the IUPAC name ethanamide is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetamide, is obtained from acetic acid.
