title: 2-Methyl-N-(3-methyl-benzo-yl)benzene-sulfonamide.
abstract: In the title compound, C(15)H(15)NO(3)S, the sulfonyl and amide-bound benzene rings are oriented at dihedral angles of 83.1 (1) and 22.5 (3)°, respectively, with the almost planar S-N-C=O segment (r.m.s. deviation = 0.003 Å). The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 74.8 (1)°. In the crystal structure, pairs of mol-ecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers by pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
