4-Chloro-N-(2,4-dimethyl-phen-yl)benzene-sulfonamide
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(14)H(14)ClNO(2)S, the N-H bond points away from the dimethyl-phenyl ring plane. The mol-ecule is twisted at the S atom, with a C-SO(2)-NH-C torsion angle of -75.5 (2)°. The two aromatic rings are tilted relative to each other by 63.3 (1)°. The Cl atom on the chloro-benzene ring is disordered over two sites with site-occupation factors of 0.59 (3) and 0.41 (3), respectively. The crystal structure features inversion-related dimers linked by inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
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...
