2-Methyl-5-nitro-benzene-sulfonamide

Abstract

In the title compound, C(7)H(8)N(2)O(4)S, the nitro group is twisted by 9.61 (2)° relative to the benzene ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O and N-H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bonds between the amino and sulfonyl groups, forming layers parallel to (001).
