   Stenfors, Brock A.; Staples, Richard J.; Biros, Shannon M.; Ngassa, Felix N. (July 2020, Acta Crystallographica Section E Crystallographic Communications)

   The synthesis of the title compound, C 13 H 21 NO 2 S, 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.

   Stenfors, Brock A.; Staples, Richard J.; Biros, Shannon M.; Ngassa, Felix N. (March 2020, Acta Crystallographica Section E Crystallographic Communications)

   The molecular structure of the title compound, C 11 H 15 NO 2 S, features a sulfonamide group with S=O bond lengths of 1.4357 (16) and 1.4349 (16) Å, an S—N bond length of 1.625 (2) Å, and an S—C bond length of 1.770 (2) Å. When viewing the molecule down the S—N bond, both N—C bonds of the pyrrolidine ring are oriented gauche to the S—C bond with torsion angles of −65.6 (2)° and 76.2 (2)°. The crystal structure features both intra- and intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds, as well as intermolecular C—H...π and π–π interactions, leading to the formation of sheets parallel to the ac plane.

3. Crystal structure of N -allyl-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide

   https://doi.org/10.1107/S2056989018010290  

   Patel, Zeel S.; Stevens, Amanda C.; Bookout, Erin C.; Staples, Richard J.; Biros, Shannon M.; Ngassa, Felix N. (August 2018, Acta Crystallographica Section E Crystallographic Communications)

   The title compound, C 10 H 13 NO 2 S, was synthesized by a nucleophilic substitution reaction between allyl amine and p -toluenesulfonyl chloride. The sulfonate S—O bond lengths are 1.4282 (17) and 1.4353 (17) Å, and the C—N—S—C torsion angle involving the sulfonamide moiety is −61.0 (2)°. In the crystal, centrosymmetric dimers of the title compound are present via intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds between sulfonamide groups. These dimers are linked into ribbons along the c -axis direction through offset π–π interactions.

   Sielaff, Elizabeth N.; Staples, Richard J.; Biros, Shannon M. (April 2023, Acta Crystallographica Section E Crystallographic Communications)

   The molecular structure of tert -butyl 3,6-diiodocarbazole-9-carboxylate, C 17 H 15 I 2 NO 2 , features a nearly planar 13-membered carbazole ring with C—I bond lengths of 2.092 (4) and 2.104 (4) Å. The carbamate group has key bond lengths of 1.404 (6) Å (N—C), 1.330 (5) Å (O—C), and 1.201 (6) Å (C=O). The crystal contains intermolecular π–π interactions, as well as both type I and type II intermolecular I...I interactions.

   The syntheses and crystal structures of the two title compounds, C 11 H 10 O 3 ( I ) and C 17 H 14 BrNO 2 ( II ), both containing the bicyclo[2.2.2]octene ring system, are reported here [the structure of I has been reported previously: White & Goh (2014). Private Communication (refcode HOKRIK). CCDC, Cambridge, England]. The bond lengths and angles of the bicyclo[2.2.2]octene ring system are similar for both structures. The imide functional group of II features carbonyl C=O bond lengths of 1.209 (2) and 1.210 (2) Å, with C—N bond lengths of 1.393 (2) and 1.397 (2) Å. The five-membered imide ring is nearly planar, and it is positioned exo relative to the alkene bridgehead carbon atoms of the bicyclo[2.2.2]octene ring system. Non-covalent interactions present in the crystal structure of II include a number of C—H...O interactions. The extended structure of II also features C—H...O hydrogen bonds as well as C—H...π and lone pair–π interactions, which combine together to create supramolecular sheets.
