trans-rac-[1-Oxo-2-phenethyl-3-(2-thienyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-4-yl]methyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate

The title compound, C29H27NO4S2, was synthesized by reaction of trans-rac-4-(hydroxymethyl)-2-phenethyl-3-(thiophen-2-yl)-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-one and 4-methylbenzene-1-sulfonyl chloride in the presence of Et3N in CH2Cl2. The relative orientations of the benzene ring (A) of the 3,4-dihydroisoquinolinone ring system, the thiophene ring (B), the benzene ring (C) of the methylbenzene group and the phenyl ring (D) result in the following dihedral angles: A/B = 80.91 (16), A/C = 22.79 (18), A/D = 9.9 (2), B/C = 80.73 (19), B/D = 88.9 (2) and C/D = 29.9 (2)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π interactions.
