Crystal Structure of N-(2-Cyano-1-Phenylprop-2-en-1-yl)-4-Methylbenzenesulfonamide

New allylsulfonamide is prepared in a four-step synthetic route: the Morita-Baylis-Hillman adduct prepared from benzaldehyde and acrylonitrile is acetylated using acetic anhydride and DMAP. The acetylated product reacts with DABCO displaced by the addition of 4-methylbenzenesulfonamide. The final product is characterized by high-resolution mass spectrometry, infrared, and NMR spectroscopic techniques. The X-ray crystallographic method is used to determine the crystal structure and features of the molecular structure of the compound.
