In the structure of the title compound, C9H13NO2S, the conformation of the N—H bond is anti to the meta-methyl group, similar to the anti conformation observed in N-(3methylphenyl)methanesulfonamide. The amide H atoms lies on one side of the plane of the benzene ring, while the methanesulfonyl group is on the opposite side of the plane, similar to what is observed in other methanesulfonanilides. It is thus available to a receptor molecule during its biological activity. The molecules are packed into chains through N— H O hydrogen bonding.

N-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)methanesulfonamide exhibits anti-conformation and is available for biological activity through N-H O hydrogen bonding.
