N-[4-(Dimethyl­amino)benzyl­idene]-4-methyl­benzene­sulfonamide

The mol­ecule of the title compound, C₁₆H₁₈N₂O₂S, consists of essentially planar 4-(dimethyl­amino)benzyl­idene and 4-tol­yl fragments bonded through a sulfone S atom, which is approximately coplanar with both fragments. The mean planes of the MeC₆H₄S and Me₂NC₆H₄CH=NS groups are roughly orthogonal and form a dihedral angle of 101.28 (9)°.
