The title compound, C(14)H(21)NO(2)S, synthesized by N-methyl-ation of cyclo-hexyl-amine sulfonamide with ethyl iodide is of inter-est as a precursor to biologically active sulfur-containing heterocyclic compounds. There are two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The dihedral angles between the mean planes of the phenyl ring and the cyclo-hexyl ring are 40.29 (11) and 37.91 (13)° in the two mol-ecules.
