(E)-4-Chloro-N-[4-(methyl­sulfon­yl)benzyl­idene]aniline

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₄H₁₂ClNO₂S, the mol­ecules display a trans conformation with respect to the C=N double bond. The dihedral angle between the methyl­sulfonyl benzene and chloro­benzene rings is 59.59 (8)°. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak C—H...O inter­actions and by π–π stacking inter­actions between inversion-related methyl­sulfonyl benzene rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.8579 (11) Å].
