2-Methyl-N-(4-methylphenyl)benzamide

Abstract

The conformations of the N—H and C=O bonds in the structure of the title compound, C15H15NO, 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 molecules into infinite chains running along the c axis.
