Abstract
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)°.
