4,4′-Bis(dimethylamino)benzhydryl phenyl sulfone

In the title compound, C23H26N2O2S, the sulfur-bound phenyl group is aligned approximately parallel to one of the two rings of the benzhydryl group, making a dihedral angle of 1.15 (9)°. The other forms a dihedral angle of 59.20 (9)° with the phenyl group bound to the S atom. In the crystal, molecules are linked into strands along [100] by weak C—H...O contacts. Weak C–H...π interactions are also observed.
