In the title compound, C14H13NO, which has two molecules in the asymmetric unit, the dihedral angles between the mean planes of the benzene rings are 84.6 (7) and 85.0 (6)°. N—H...O hydrogen bonds [forming R22(8) ring motifs] and C—H...O hydrogen bonds dominate the crystal packing, forming zigzag chains parallel to the a axis. In addition, weak intermolecular C—H...π interactions are observed.
