N-Benzoyl-2-nitrobenzenesulfonamide

Abstract

In the title compound, C13H10N2O5S, the N—C bond in the C—SO2—NH—C segment has gauche torsion angles with respect to the S=O bonds. The conformation between the N—H bond and the ortho-nitro group in the sulfonyl benzene ring is syn. The mol­ecule is twisted at the S—N bond with a torsion angle of −63.4 (2)°. The sulfonyl benzene ring is tilted by 77.1 (1)° relative to the —SO2—NH—C—O segment. The dihedral angle between the sulfonyl and the benzoyl benzene rings is 88.6 (1)°. In the crystal, pairs of N—H⋯O(S) hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into inversion dimers, which are linked by weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π inter­actions along the b axis.
