Supporting information
A mixture of 4-methyl benzene sulfonyl chloride (10.0 mmoles; 1.90 g), 3-ethoxy aniline (meta-phenetidine) (10.0 mmoles; 1.25 g), aqueous sodium carbonate (10%; 10.0 ml) and water (25 ml) was stirred for half an hour at room temperature. The crude mixture was washed with water and dried. Product was dissolved in methanol and crystallized by slow evaporation of the solvent. Yield 72%. 4-Methyl benzene sulfonyl chloride and meta-phenetidine were purchased from Sigma Aldrich while all other chemicals involved were obtained from Merk, Germany.
H atoms bonded to C atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.93–0.97Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2–1.5Ueq (C). The amino H-atom was found in a difference Fourier map, and refined with a distance restraint of N–H 0.86 (2) Å. The H-atom Uiso parameter was fixed at 1.2Ueq(N) for the N—H group.

Special details top Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
Refinement. Refinement on F2 for ALL reflections except those flagged by the user for potential systematic errors. Weighted R-factors wR and all goodnesses of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The observed criterion of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating -R-factor-obs etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R-factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Sulfonamide is an important functionality found in a number of synthetic as well as natural compounds possessing versatile type of biological activities e.g. herbicidal, anti-malarial, anti-convulsant and anti-hypertensive (Soledade et al., 2006; Xiao & Timberlake, 2000; Berredjem et al., 2000; Lee & Lee, 2002) activities. In the present paper, the structure of N-(3-ethoxyphenyl)-4-methylbenzene sulfonamide has been determined as part of a research program involving the synthesis and biological evaluation of sulfur containing compounds.
In the title compound (I), Fig. 1), the dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings (C2–C7 and C8–C13) is 69.42 (9)° and the bridging C5—S1—N1—C8 torsion angle is 65.76 (16)°. In the crystal structure, two neighbouring molecules generate a hydrogen-bonded dimer about a center of inversion through a pair of intermolecular N—H···O interactions, forming an R22(8) ring motif (Table 1, Fig. 2).
In the structure, two intermolecular C—H···π interactions contribute to the stability of crystal packing (Table 1).
