N-(3,5-Dichlorophenyl)-2,4-dimethylbenzenesulfonamide

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(14)H(13)Cl(2)NO(2)S, the conformation of the N-C bond in the C-SO(2)-NH-C segment has gauche torsions with respect to the S=O bonds. The molecule is bent at the N atom, with an C-SO(2)-NH-C torsion angle of -54.9 (3)degrees. The two benzene rings are tilted relative to each other by 82.3 (2)degrees. The molecules are linked into centrosymmetric R(2)(2)(8) motifs by N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds and C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions along [100].
