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-HO hydrogen bonds. The molecule is disordered so that the aromatic rings are disposed across a twofold axis with equal occupancies.
