N-Benzoylbenzenesulfonamide

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C13H11NO3S, the conformation of the N—H bond in the C—SO2—NH—C(O)—C segment is anti to the C=O bond. The molecule is twisted at theN atom with a dihedral angle of 86.5(1)° between the sulfonyl benzene ring and the —SO2—NH—C=O segment. Furthermore, the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 80.3(1)°. The crystal structure features inversion-related dimers linked by pairs of N—H...O(S) hydrogen bonds.
