2-Methyl-N-(4-methyl-phen-yl)benzamide.

ABSTRACT: The conformations of the N-H and C=O bonds in the structure of the title compound, C(15)H(15)NO, are trans to each other. Furthermore, the position of the amide O atom is syn to the ortho-methyl group in the benzoyl ring. The central amide group is tilted at an angle of 59.96 (11)° to the benzoyl ring, and the benzoyl and aniline rings form a dihedral angle of 81.44 (5)°. N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into infinite chains running along the c axis.
