Crystal structure of 3‐hydroxy methyl 4,6‐dimethoxy‐9‐phenylsulfonyl‐carbazole

The crystal structure of 3‐Hydroxy methyl 4,6‐dimethoxy‐9‐phenylsulfonyl‐carbazole. (C 21 H 19 NO 5 S) has been determined [CCDC 194425]. The compound crystallizes from methanol in the monoclinic system, space group I2/c, with unit cell parameters: a = 20.498(2), b = 9.258(2), c = 21.866(3)Å, β = 116.450(10)°, Z = 8, V = 3715.2(10)Å 3 . The crystal structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full‐matrix least squares to a final R‐value of 0.050 with 3508 unique reflections. The planar carbazole ring fragment is inclined at an angle of 79.9(1)° to the phenylsulfonyl group. The sum of the angle about N is 351.6(2)°. The atoms linked to the central hexavalent S atom are arranged in a tetrahedral configuration with the larger deviations in the O‐SO angles [O1‐S‐O2 = 119.7(2)°] and the O1‐S‐N and O2‐S‐N angles [106.1(2) and 106.9(1)°, respectively].
