4-Methyl-N-[(S)-1-phenylethyl]benzenesulfonamide

Abstract

In the title compound, C(15)H(17)NO(2)S, the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 14.47 (8)degrees. The molecule is bent at the N atom, with a C-SO2-NH-C torsion angle of 79.06 (13)degrees. In the crystal structure, the sulfonamide groups are hydrogen bonded via N-H center dot center dot center dot O links, forming chains of molecules along the crystallographic b axis. pi-pi interactions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.81 (3) angstrom] also occur.
