In the title compound, C17H20N2O4S, the aryl ring is positioned perpendicular to the dihydropyrimidine ring, the dihedral angle between the ring planes being 77.48 (9)°. The carboxylate and methyl groups are in a cis conformation with respect to the C=C bond. The dihydropyrimidine ring adopts a twist-boat conformation. The crystal structure is stabilized by N-H...O and C-H...O interactions, the former resulting in molecular chains along the b axis and the latter forming inversion dimers.
