Butyl 4-(4-methyl-benzene-sulfonamido)-benzoate
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(18)H(21)NO(4)S, the aromatic rings are almost normal to each other, with a dihedral angle of 89.27 (18)°. The mol-ecular conformation is stabilized by an intra-molecular C-H⋯O inter-action, which generates an S(6) motif. In the crystal, N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of chains propagating along [010]. Neighbouring chains are linked via a C-H⋯π inter-action. The -CH(2)CH(2)CH(3) atoms of the butyl group are disordered over two sets of sites, with a refined site-occupancy ratio of 0.536 (16):0.464 (16).

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...
