4-Chloro-N-(3-methylbenzoyl)benzenesulfonamide monohydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, C14H12ClNO3S·H2O, the dihedral angle between the sulfonyl and benzoyl benzene rings is 84.4 (2)°. In the crystal, every water molecule forms four hydrogen bonds with three different molecules of 4-chloro-N-(3-methylbenzoyl)benzenesulfonamide. One of the water H atoms forms a bifurcated hydrogen bond with both the sulfonyl and the carbonyl O atoms of the same molecule. Molecules are linked into layers in the ab plane through N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds.
