title: N-(3-Methyl-benzo-yl)-2-nitro-benzene-sulfonamide.
abstract: In the title compound, C(14)H(12)N(2)O(5)S, the conformation between the N-H group and the ortho-nitro group in the sulfonyl benzene ring is syn and that between the C=O and meta-methyl groups in the benzoyl ring is anti. The mol-ecule is twisted at the S-N bond with a torsion angle of 64.3 (2)°. The dihedral angle between the sulfonyl benzene ring and the -SO(2)-NH-C-O segment is 75.73 (7)° and that between the sulfonyl and benzoyl benzene rings is 89.5 (1)°. The crystal structure features inversion-related dimers linked by pairs of N-H⋯O(S) hydrogen bonds.
