title: Methyl 2-[(methyl-sulfon-yl)(prop-yl)amino]benzoate.
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(12)H(17)NO(4)S, contains two mol-ecules, both of which show disorder of the two terminal C atoms of the propyl chain over two sets of sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.581 (6):0.419 (6). Intra-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions help to establish the mol-ecular conformations: in one mol-ecule, the dihedral angle between the methyl ester group and the benzene ring is 41.0 (2)°, whereas in the other mol-ecule it is 36.12 (17)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions.
