The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C21H21NO2S, comprises two molecules with similar conformations. The benzene rings of the nitrogen-bound benzyl groups lie to the same side of the molecule but are splayed in opposite directions precluding π–π interactions between them. In the crystal, each independent molecule self-associates via intermolecular C—H...O interactions, forming a supramolecular chain propagating along the b axis.
