4-Methyl-N-(2-methyl­benzo­yl)benzene­sulfonamide

In the title compound, C(15)H(15)NO(3)S, the conformation of the N—H bond in the C—SO(2)—NH—C(O) segment is anti to the C=O bond. Further, the conformation of the C=O bond is syn to the ortho-methyl group in the benzoyl ring. The dihedral angle between the sulfonyl benzene ring and the —SO(2)—NH—C—O segment is 87.1 (1)° and that between the sulfonyl and the benzoyl benzene rings is 58.2 (1)°. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules are linked by pairs of N—H⋯O(S) hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers.
