title: 2,2-Dichloro-N-(4-methyl-phenyl-sulfonyl)acetamide.
abstract: The N-H and C=O bonds in the title compound, C(9)H(9)Cl(2)NO(3)S, are trans to each other, similar to what is observed in 2,2,2-trimethyl-N-(phenyl-sulfon-yl)acetamide and 2,2,2-trimethyl-N-(4-methyl-phenyl-sulfon-yl)acetamide. The bond parameters in the title compound are also similar to those in the aforementioned two structures. N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the mol-ecules into chains running along the a axis.
