Abstract
The title molecule, C17H13N5O4S, has a trans configuration with respect to the diazenyl (azo) group. The pyrimidine ring and the terminal benzene ring are inclined at angles of 89.38 (4) and 1.6 (6)degrees, respectively, with respect to the central benzene ring. The conformation of the molecule is in part stabilized by an intramolecular O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bond. In the crystal structure, molecules related through inversion centers form hydrogen-bonded dimers involving the sulfonamide N-H group and the N atom of the pyrimidine ring.
