A new series of 4-[3-chloro-2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyllidene)-4-oxoazetidin-1-yl]amino-N-(substituted) benzenesulfonamide, 4-{3-chloro-2-[5-methoxy-2-nitro-4-(prop-2-en-1-yloxy)benzyllidene]-4-oxoazetidin-1-yl}]amino}-N(substituted)benzenesulfonamide and 4-{3-chloro-2-[4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-5-(prop-2-en-1-yl)benzylidene]-4-oxoazetidin-1-yl}amino}-N-(substituted) benzenesulfonamide were synthesi...

The mol-ecular conformation of the title compound, C(18)H(18)O(5), is stabilized by a strong intra-molecular hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl and carbonyl groups. The C=C double bond displays an E configuration while the carbonyl group shows an S-cis configuration relative to the double bond. The dihedral angle between the two rings is 15.0 (1)°.

In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(23)H(20)O(3), an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring. The central benzene ring makes dihedral angles of 80.17 (8) and 16.99 (7)°, respectively, with the benz-yloxy and hy-droxy-methyl phenyl rings. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form dimers. The dimers are connected by C-H⋯O hydro...
