Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₃H₁₁NO₅S, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the 4-tolyl and 2-nitrophenyl rings is 42.2 (2)°. There are weak C-HO hydrogen bonds, which generate rings of graph-set motifs S(5), $R_{1}^{2}$ (4), $R_{2}^{1}$ (5), $R_{2}^{1}$ (6), $R_{1}^{2}$ (6), $R_{2}^{2}$ (7) and $R_{2}^{2}$ (10). The supramolecular aggregation is completed by the presence of intermolecular van der Waals short contacts, and C-H [pi] and [pi] - [pi] interactions.
