title: N-[(4-Chloro-phen-yl)sulfon-yl]acetamide.
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(8)H(8)ClNO(3)S, consists of two crystallographically independent mol-ecules (A and B). The dihedral angles between the benzene ring and amide C-C(=O)-NH- plane are 87.6 (3) (mol-ecule A) and 86.0 (3)° (mol-ecule B). In the crystal, the independent mol-ecules are alternately linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into an infinite chain along the b axis. Short inter-molecular Cl⋯Cl contacts [3.2882 (5) and 3.2812 (5) Å] are also observed.
