N-(2-Bromo-phen-yl)-4-methyl-N-(4-methyl-phen-ylsulfon-yl)benzene-sulfonamide
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(20)H(18)BrNO(4)S(2), the mean planes formed by the toluene substituents are inclined at a dihedral angle of 45.34 (8)°. The bromo-benzene group is disordered over two positions with an occupancy ratio of 0.74:0.26, resulting in two conformations of the ring; the two rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 6.6 (6)° with each other. In the crystal structure, weak C-H⋯O inter-actions connect the mol-ecules in a zigzag manner along the a axis.

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...
