title: 2,6-Dichloro-1-[(1E)-2-(phenyl-sulfon-yl)ethen-yl]benzene.
abstract: In the title compound, C(14)H(10)Cl(2)O(2)S, the product of a base-catalyzed condensation followed by deca-rboxylation of the carboxyl-ate group of the sulfonyl derivative, the configuration of the alkene unit is E. The torsion angle between the alkene unit and the 2,6-dichloro-phenyl ring system is -40.8 (3)°. The dihedral angle between the rings is 80.39 (7)°.
