Abstract
The conformation of the N—H bond in the structure of the title compound, C7H7Cl2NO2S, is nearly syn to the ortho-chloro substituent, similar to the syn conformation observed for the N-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)methanesulfonamide. The geometric parameters are similar to those in other methanesulfonanilides, except for some differences in the bond and torsion angles. The amide H atom is readily available to a receptor molecule during its biological activity, as it lies on one side of the plane of the benzene ring, similar to those in other N-arylmethanesulfonamides. The molecules are packed into chains through both N—H⋯O and N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.
