Abstract: 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-HO hydrogen bonds into chains running along the a axis. An intermolecular C-HO hydrogen bond is also present.
