In the title compound, C18H21NO4S, the aromatic rings are almost normal to each other, with a dihedral angle of 89.27 (18)°. The molecular conformation is stabilized by an intramolecular C—H⋯O interaction, which generates an S(6) motif. In the crystal, N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of chains propagating along [010]. Neighbouring chains are linked via a C—H⋯π interaction. The –CH2CH2CH3 atoms of the butyl group are disordered over two sets of sites, with a refined site-occupancy ratio of 0.536 (16):0.464 (16).
