Crystal structure of 4-methyl-N-(4-methylbenzyl)benzenesulfonamide

The synthesis and crystal structure of the title aryl sulfonamide are described. In the crystal, N—H⋯O and C—H⋯π inter­actions link the mol­ecules, leading to the formation of a three-dimensional network structure.
The title compound, C15H17NO2S, was synthesized via a substitution reaction between 4-methyl­benzyl­amine and p-toluene­sulfonyl chloride. In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules, forming ribbons running along the b-axis direction. One of the aromatic rings hosts two inter­molecular C—H⋯π inter­actions that link these hydrogen-bonded ribbons into a three-dimensional network.
