2,4-Dimethyl-N-phenyl-benzene-sulfonamide.

The asymmetric unit of the crystal structure of the title compound, C(14)H(15)NO(2)S, contains two mol-ecules. 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 mol-ecules are 46.1 (3) (glide image of mol-ecule 1) and 47.7 (3)° (mol-ecule 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 mol-ecules. N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds pack the mol-ecules into one-dimensional chains in different directions, resulting in a two-dimensional network.
