Multicentre hydrogen bonds in a 2:1 aryl­sulfonyl­imidazol­one ­hydro­chloride salt

The title compound, (S)‐(+)‐4‐[5‐(2‐oxo‐4,5‐di­hydro­imidazol‐1‐yl­sulfonyl)­indolin‐1‐yl­carbonyl]­anilinium chloride (S)‐(+)‐1‐[1‐(4‐amino­benzoyl)­indoline‐5‐sulfonyl]‐4‐phenyl‐4,5‐di­hydro­imidazol‐2‐one, C₂₄H₂₃N₄O₄S⁺·Cl^?·C₂₄H₂₂N₄O₄S, crystallizes in space group C2 from a CH₃OH/CH₂Cl₂ solution. In the crystal structure, there are two different conformers with their terminal C₆ aromatic rings mutually oriented at angles of 67.69 (14) and 61.16 (15)°. The distances of the terminal N atoms (of the two conformers) from the chloride ion are 3.110 (4) and 3.502 (4) Å. There are eight distinct hydrogen bonds, i.e. four N—H?Cl, three N—H?O and one N—H?N, with one N—H group involved in a bifurcated hydrogen bond with two acceptors sharing the H atom. C—H?O contacts assist in the overall hydrogen‐bonding process.
