(2Z)-2-{[N-(2-Formylphenyl)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamido]methyl}-3-(4-methylphenyl)prop-2-enenitrile

Abstract

In the title compound, C25H22N2O3S, the sulfonyl-bound benzene ring forms dihedral angles of 36.8 (2) and 81.4 (2)°, respectively, with the formylbenzene and methylbenzene rings. The molecular conformation is stabilized by an intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bond, which generates anS(5) ring motif. The crystal packing is stabilized by C—H...O hydrogen bonds, which generateC(11) chains along thebaxis. The crystal packing is further stabilized by π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.927 (2) Å].
