Ethyl 2-benzenesulfonamido-4-methyl-pentanoate

Abstract

In the title compound, C14H21NO4S, the O - S - O angle is 120.06 (11)°, with the S atom adopting a distorted tetrahedral geometry. In the crystal, N - H···O hydrogen bonds connect the molecules along the a axis, generating an infinite chain. The disordered C atoms of the isobutyl group were refined with the C - C distances restrained to 1.52 (1) Å and the occupancy ratio refined to 0.504 (3):0.496 (3).
