Abstract: The molecules of the title compound, C₁₃H₁₃NO₂, are close to planar [maximum deviation of 0.0753 (15) Å from the least-squares plane defined by all non-H atoms in the molecule]. Molecules form centrosymmetric dimers through N-HO hydrogen bonding. Molecules further associate through edge-to-face -stacking between each face of the p-tolyl substituent and ortho H atoms of the p-tolyl units of adjacent molecules.
