Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 294 K; mean (C-C) = 0.003 Å; disorder in main residue; R factor = 0.044; wR factor = 0.124; data-to-parameter ratio = 11.9.The title compound, C 11 H 10 N 2 O 2 S, crystallizes as a zwitterionic tautomer, N-(4-pyridinio)benzenesulfonamidate, with the pyridine N atom protonated and the amide N atom deprotonated. There is evidence for conjugation between the anionic N atom and the pyridinium ring. In the crystal structure, intermolecular N-HÁ Á ÁN hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains along the c axis. Weak C-HÁ Á ÁO and C-HÁ Á Á interactions further stabilize the structure. organic compounds o3720 # 2007 International Union of Crystallography
In the title compound, C9H11NO3, the oxime grouping is twisted by 12.68 (6)° with respect to the dimethoxylbenzene ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked into an infinite [100] chain via O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, instead of the more common oxime packing motif of dimers with an R
