N-(4-Methyl­phenyl­sulfon­yl)-3-nitro­benzamide

In the title compound, C₁₄H₁₂N₂O₅S, the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 86.29 (1)° and the conformation between the C=O bond of the amide group and the meta-NO₂ group is syn. The C—S—N—C torsion angle is −65.87 (19)° and the mol­ecule has an L-shaped conformation. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are connected into inversion dimers through pairs of N—H...O hydrogen bonds and C—H...O inter­actions forming R₂²(8) and R₂²(14) loops, respectively. The dimers are connected by further C—H...O inter­actions, thereby forming (100) sheets.
