The title compound, C28H22O6S2·2C6H13N·2H2O, was prepared by the reaction of a Wittig reagent and 2-formylbenzenesulfonic acid. The main molecule lies about an inversion centre at the midpoint of the C—C bond between the inner benzene rings. The molecular conformation is stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure is further stabilized by O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions.
