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

Abstract

In the mol­ecule of the title compound, C16H17NO, the two aromatic rings are almost perpendicular to each other [dihedral angle 85.90 (5)°]. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds which link the mol­ecules, forming C(4) chains running along the c axis.
