Abstract

The title compound, C29H26O10S, yields two conformational polymorphs concomitantly fr om dichloromethane-methanol mixture; the major polymorph grows as plates (Form I, monoclinic, P21/n) and the minor polymorph grows as needles (Form II, triclinic, P-1). The two forms differ mainly in orientation of the tosyl group. In Form I, sulfonyl oxygen of the tosyl group makes intermolecular C-H?KO interactions, wh ereas the same group in Form II is involved in an intramolecular short dipolar S=O?KC=O (sulfonyl-carbonyl) contact. The molecular organization and the influence of various weak non-covalent interactions that stabilize these conformers in the crystal lattices are discussed.
