Hypothesis
The study investigates the effect of substituents on the structures of N-(aryl)-amides.
Conclusion
The conformation of the N—C bond in the compound exhibits gauche torsions with respect to the S=O bonds.
Supporting Evidence
- The molecule is twisted at the S atom with a specific torsion angle.
- The dihedral angles between different segments of the molecule were measured.
- Molecules are linked into zigzag chains via hydrogen bonds.
Takeaway
This study looks at how different parts of a molecule can change its shape, specifically in a compound that has a sulfonamide group.
Methodology
The compound was prepared by refluxing a mixture of 4-nitrobenzoic acid, 2-methylbenzenesulfonamide, and phosphorous oxychloride, followed by crystallization.
