Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₃H₁₃NO₂S, 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-HO hydrogen bonds.
