The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(15)H(16)ClNO(2)S, contains two independent moleules. The conformation of the N-H bonds are anti to the ortho-methyl groups in the sulfonyl benzene rings of both the mol-ecules, while the N-H bonds are anti to the ortho- and meta-methyl groups in the aniline ring of one of the mol-ecules and syn in the other. Furthermore, the torsion angles of the C-SO(2)-NH-C segments in the two mol-ecules of are -66.8 (3) and 70.3 (3)°. The sulfonyl and the aniline benzene rings are oriented at angles of 44.1 (1) and 39.7 (1)° in the two mol-ecules. In the crystal, pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into dimers.
