Abstract :
The synthesis of the title compound, C13H21NO2S, is reported here along with its crystal structure. This compound crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The sulfonamide functional group of this structure features S=O bond lengths ranging from 1.433 (3) to 1.439 (3) Å, S—C bond lengths of 1.777 (3) and 1.773 (4) Å, and S—N bond lengths of 1.622 (3) and 1.624 (3) Å. When viewing the molecules down the S—N bond, the isopropyl groups are gauche to the aromatic ring. On each molecule, two methyl hydrogen atoms of one isopropyl group are engaged in intramolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds with a nearby sulfonamide oxygen atom. Intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π interactions link molecules of the title compound in the solid state.
