2,4-Dimethyl-N-phenyl­benzene­sulfonamide

The asymmetric unit of the crystal structure of the title compound, C(14)H(15)NO(2)S, contains two mol­ecules. The conformations of the N—C bonds in the C—SO(2)—NH—C segments of the structure have trans and gauche torsion angles with the S=O bonds. Furthermore, the torsion angles of the C—SO(2)—NH—C groups in the two mol­ecules are 46.1 (3) (glide image of mol­ecule 1) and 47.7 (3)° (mol­ecule 2). The ortho-methyl groups in the sulfonyl benzene ring are oriented away from the S=O bonds. The two benzene rings are tilted relative to each other by 67.5 (1) and 72.9 (1)° in the two mol­ecules. N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds pack the mol­ecules into one-dimensional chains in different directions, resulting in a two-dimensional network.
