title: 2,4-Dichloro-N-(4-methyl-phen-yl)benzene-sulfonamide.
abstract: The title compound, C(13)H(11)Cl(2)NO(2)S, crystallizes with four independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. In each of the four mol-ecules, the conformation of the N-C bond in the C-SO(2)-NH-C segment is gauche with respect to both S=O bonds. The mol-ecules are twisted at the S-N bonds with C-SO(2)-NH-C torsion angles of 60.6 (4), -59.7 (3), 63.9 (4) and 53.0 (4)°. The benzene rings in two of the mol-ecules are disordered with multiple positions resolved in each case. The crystal structure features inversion dimers linked by pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds for each of the four molecules.
