2-Chloro-N-(4-methyl-benzo-yl)benzene-sulfonamide.

In the title compound, C(14)H(12)ClNO(3)S, the conformation of the N-H bond in the C-SO(2)-NH-C(O) segment is anti to the C=O bond. The dihedral angle between the sulfonyl benzene ring and the -SO(2)-NH-C-O segment is 89.4 (1)° and that between the sulfonyl and benzoyl benzene rings is 89.1 (2)°. The crystal structure features inversion-related dimers linked by pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
