In the molecule of the title compound, C11H15NO2, the planar acetamide unit [maximum deviation of 0.0014 (6) Å] is oriented at a dihedral angle of 19.68 (4)° with respect to the aromatic ring. An intramolecular C-H...O interaction results in the formation of a six-membered ring. In the crystal structure, intermolecular N-H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains along the a axis
