N-(3,5-Dimethylphenyl)-2-methylbenzamide

Abstract

In the mol­ecular structure of the title compound, C16H17NO, the amide group is twisted by 41.8 (2) and 29.0 (2)° out of the planes of the 2-methyl­phenyl and 3,5-dimethyl­phenyl rings, respectively. The two aromatic rings make a dihedral angle of 69.5 (1)°. In the crystal, inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the mol­ecules into C(4) chains running along the c axis.
