The asymmetric unit of the crystal structure of the title compound, C14H15NO2S, contains two mol­ecules. The conformations of the N—C bonds in the C—SO2—NH—C segments of the structure have trans and gauche torsion angles with the S=O bonds. Furthermore, the torsion angles of the C—SO2—NH—C groups in the two mol­ecules are 46.1 (3) (glide image of mol­ecule 1) and 47.7 (3)° (mol­ecule 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 mol­ecules. N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds pack the mol­ecules into one-dimensional chains in different directions, resulting in a two-dimensional network.

Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 299 K; mean (C-C) = 0.004 Å; R factor = 0.040; wR factor = 0.106; data-to-parameter ratio = 12.8.In the title compound, C 13 H 13 NO 2 S, the conformation of the N-H bond is anti to the ortho-methyl group on the aniline ring, in contrast to the syn conformation observed with respect to the ortho-chloro group in N-(2-chlorophenyl)-benzenesulfonamide. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 61.5 (1) . Molecules are linked into chains running along the a axis by N-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonds. Related literature

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C12H10ClNO2S, the N—H bond is trans to one of the S=O bonds. The two aromatic rings form a dihedral angle of 65.4 (1)°, compared with a value of 49.1 (1)° in N-(2-chlorophenyl)-benzenesulfonamide. The molecules are connected by intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds into chains running along the b axis

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C14H15NO2S, the N—H bond is trans to one of the S=O double bonds, similar to what is observed in N-(2-methylphenyl)benzenesulfonamide and other aryl sulfonamides. The two aromatic rings enclose a dihedral angle of 44.9 (1)°. The molecules are connected by intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds into chains running along the a axis. An intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bond is also present
