2,6-Dichloro-1-[(1E)-2-(phenylsulfonyl)ethenyl]benzene

Abstract

In the title compound, C14H10Cl2O2S, the product of a base-catalyzed condensation followed by decarboxylation of the carboxylate group of the sulfonyl derivative, the configuration of the alkene unit is E. The torsion angle between the alkene unit and the 2,6-dichlorophenyl ring system is −40.8 (3)°. The dihedral angle between the rings is 80.39 (7)°.
