Abstract

In the title compound, C29H37N5O4S2, two arms substituted with dansyl derivatives are connected to a central tertiary amine, where the dihedral angle between the planes of two dansyl units is 56.39 (4)°. Each arm contains a sulfonamide functional group and both N-H groups in the compound are pointed to the same side. The central part of the mol-ecule is disordered over three sets of sites with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.547 (4):0.328 (4):0.125 (3). No intra-molecular π-π or hydrogen-bonding inter-actions are observed. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via pairs of N-H⋯O inter-actions involving the same acceptor atom, forming inversion dimers. In addition, C-H⋯O inter-actions exist between molecules, providing further stabilization of dimers.

Keywords: crystal structure; dansyl derivative; hydrogen bonding; sulfonamide.
