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

The title compound, C16H17NO, crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The conformation of the N—H bond is anti to the meta-methyl substituent in the aniline ring in the first molecule and syn in the second molecule. The dihedral angles between the two benzene rings are...

Description
Summary:The title compound, C16H17NO, crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The conformation of the N—H bond is anti to the meta-methyl substituent in the aniline ring in the first molecule and syn in the second molecule. The dihedral angles between the two benzene rings are 52.6 (1) and 10.5 (1)° in the first and second molecules, respectively. Intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains running along the b axis of the crystal.
