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

Abstract

In the title compound, C15H15NO, the amide fragment has an anti conformation. The central amide group is tilted with respect to the benzoyl ring, forming a dihedral angle of 32.3 (5)°. The benzoyl and aniline rings make a dihedral angle of 59.6 (5)°. Mol­ecules are linked into infinite supra­molecular chains via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The mol­ecule is disordered so that the aromatic rings are disposed across a twofold axis with equal occupancies.

N-(2,3-Dimethylphenyl)-4-methylbenzamide

“…E67, o2463 The structural aspects of N-aryl amides are of interest due to their chemical and biological importance (Arjunan et al, 2004;Bhat & Gowda, 2000;Bowes et al, 2003;Gowda et al, 2003;Saeed et al, 2010). In the present work, as part of a study of the substituent effects on the structures of benzanilides (Gowda et al, 2003(Gowda et al, , 2009Rodrigues et al, 2011), the structure of 4-methyl-N-(2,3-dimethylphenyl)benzamide (I) has been determined ( Fig. 1).…”
