title: N-(2-Chloro-benzo-yl)benzene-sulfonamide.
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(13)H(10)ClNO(3)S, contains two independent mol-ecules, the chloro-phenyl ring of one of them being disordered over two orientations with occupancies of 0.836 (2) and 0.164 (2). In one of the independent mol-ecules, the sulfonyl-bound phenyl ring and the chloro-phenyl ring form dihedral angles of 87.3 (1) and 46.8 (1)°, respectively, with the -S-NH-C=O segment, while in the other mol-ecule the corresponding angles are 76.0 (1) and 39.6 (1)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into tetra-meric units by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
