In the title compound, C(21)H(26)N(2)O(2)S, the cyclo-hexane ring adopts a chair conformation. The angle at the methyl-ene bridge linking the pyrimidine and cyclo-hexane rings is 113.41 (13)°. This is in the range considered optimal for maximum activity of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected into centrosymmetric dimers via pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
