4-Chloro-N-(2-methylbenzoyl)benzenesulfonamide

In the title compound, C14H12ClNO3S, the conformation of the N—H bond in the C—SO2—NH—C(O) segment is anti to the C=O bond. The two aromatic rings are tilted relative to each other by 57.7 (1)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by pairs of N—H⋯O(S) hydrogen bonds, forming centrosymmetric dimers.
