organic compounds
The asymmtric unit of (III) is composed of two independent
molecules (hereafter called A and B), depicted in Figs. 5 and 6,
respectively. In molecule A, the mean planes of the benzene
rings (C1a–C6a and C8a–C13a) are inclined at 6.53 (9)ꢀ with
respect to one another, while the carbamoyl group (O3a/N2a/
C7a) is inclined at 60.34 (16) and 57.20 (17)ꢀ, respectively, to
these rings. The corresponding mean-plane angles in molecule
B are 3.11 (10), 61.17 (16) and 59.10 (17)ꢀ, respectively. The
conformations of both molecules of (III) are more closely
related to the conformation of (I). The sulfonamide groups of
the two molecules in (III) are hydrogen bonded to form
dimeric units; the eight-membered rings thus formed repre-
sent R22(8) motifs (Bernstein et al., 1994). The carbamoyl
groups of molecules A and B are hydrogen bonded to form
chains of molecules running parallel to the a axis (Fig. 7). The
two molecules contain an identical pair of intramolecular
interactions, viz. N1a/b—Hꢁ ꢁ ꢁO3a/b and C2a/b—H2a/bꢁ ꢁ ꢁ
O1a/b, resulting in seven- and five-membered rings repre-
senting S(7) and S(5) motifs, respectively (Bernstein et al.,
1994). However, the intramolecular interactions involving
hydrogen bonding to atom C15 show markedly different
patterns in the two molecules; in molecule A, atom C15 is
bonded to O3a, while in molecule B, it is bonded to N2b,
resulting in S(7) and S(5) motifs, respectively.
similar structures (Clark et al., 2003; Vyas et al., 2003; Singh et
al., 2004; Bocelli et al., 1995; Sutton & Cody, 1989; Furuya et
al., 1989; Siddiqui, Ahmad, Khan et al., 2008; Siddiqui, Ahmad,
Tariq et al., 2008), with S O, S—N, S—C, N2—C7, N2—C8
and C O distances lying in very close ranges of 1.430 (2)–
1.438 (2), 1.598 (3)–1.614 (3), 1.773 (3)–1.781 (3), 1.331 (4)–

1.338 (4), 1.429 (4)–1.440 (4) and 1.236 (3)–1.241 (3) A,
respectively. The C—N—C angle at N2 in (II) is significantly
larger than the corresponding angles in (I), (IIIA) and (IIIB).
The remaining angles lie within narrow ranges in all three
structures.
In all molecules, the conformation about the S—N bond is
in agreement with the conformation of a handful of structures
containing an o-C-substituted benzenesulfonamide fragment
[Cambridge Structural Database (CSD), Version 5.29; Allen,
2002]. The N1 atoms in all these structures are tetrahedral, the
sum of angles around this atom being in the range 334–340ꢀ.
The H atoms bonded to atom N1, and atoms O1 and O2
bonded to S1, are staggered, as observed in chlorophenyl
analogues of the title compounds (Siddiqui, Ahmad, Khan et
al., 2008) and the compound with CSD refcode COYVER
(Foresti et al., 1985). Several structures have been reported
wherein the H and O atoms of the sulfonamide unit are
eclipsed, e.g. CSD refcodes ENIROI (Vyas et al., 2003),
GUFQED01 (Clark et al., 2003) and ZZZULS01 (Tremayne et
al., 2002). Classical work on the three-dimensional orientation
of sulfonamides has been reported by several groups of
investigators (e.g. Bordner et al., 1984, 1989; Beddoes et al.,
1986; Street et al., 1987; Luger et al., 1996; Helliwell et al., 1997;
Bhatt et al., 2005).
The molecular dimensions in all three structures are in
agreement with the corresponding dimensions reported for
Experimental
Suspensions of saccharin (1.0 g, 5.46 mmol) and dimethylaniline (5 ml
in the case of 2,3- and 2,6-dimethylaniline, and 0.5 g in the case of 3,4-
dimethylaniline) in xylene (25 ml) were stirred at room temperature
for 1.5 h and then heated at 373 K for 2–7 h. The reaction mixtures
were subsequently cooled to room temperature, filtered and dried to
obtain colorless solid products. The products were crystallized from
MeOH/CH3CN (1:3) solutions by slow evaporation at 313 K.
