4-Chloro-N-(3-methyl-benzo-yl)benzene-sulfonamide monohydrate.

In the title compound, C(14)H(12)ClNO(3)S·H(2)O, the dihedral angle between the sulfonyl and benzoyl benzene rings is 84.4 (2)°. In the crystal, every water mol-ecule forms four hydrogen bonds with three different mol-ecules of 4-chloro-N-(3-methyl-benzo-yl)benzene-sulfonamide. One of the water H atoms forms a bifurcated hydrogen bond with both the sulfonyl and the carbonyl O atoms of the same mol-ecule. Mol-ecules are linked into layers in the ab plane through N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
