The conformations of the N—H and C=O bonds in the structure of the title compound, C15H15NO, are trans to each other. Furthermore, the position of the amide O atom is syn to the ortho-methyl group in the benzoyl ring. The central amide group is tilted at an angle of 59.96 (11)° to the benzoyl ring, and the benzoyl and aniline rings form a dihedral angle of 81.44 (5)°. N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into infinite chains running along the c axis.

The title compound was prepared according to the method described by Gowda et al. (2003). Prism-like colourless single crystals were obtained by slow evaporation from an ethanol solution of (I) (0.5 g in about 40 ml of ethanol) at room temperature.
All C-bound H atoms were placed in calculated positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with C–H = 0.93- 0.96 Å. The H atoms of C15-methyl group were finally refined as orientationally disordered using the AFIX 127 command in SHELXL-97 (Sheldrick, 2008). The amide-H atom was refined with the N–H distance restrained to 0.86 (2) Å. The Uiso(H) values were set at 1.2Ueq(C,N) and 1.5Ueq (C-methyl). The displacement parameters of three C-atoms in aniline ring were restrained using the DELU command with standard deviation of 0.003.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

As part of a study of exploring the effect of substituents on the structures of benzanilides (Gowda et al., 2003; 2008a,b,c), inthe present work, the structure of 2-methyl-N-(4-methylphenyl)benzamide (I) has been determined. The N—H and C=O bonds in the amide group of (I) are trans to each other (Fig. 1), similar to what is observed in N-(4-methylphenyl)benzamide (N4MPBA) (Gowda et al., 2008c), 2-methyl-N-(phenyl)-benzamide (NP2MBA) (Gowda et al., 2008a), and 2-methyl-N-(3-methylphenyl)-benzamide (N3MP2MBA) (Gowda et al., 2008b). Further, the conformation of the amide oxygen in (I) is syn to the ortho-methyl group in the benzoyl ring, similar to what is observed in NP2MBA and N3MP2MBA (Gowda et al., 2008a, b).
The central amide group is tilted to the benzoyl ring at the angle of 59.96 (11)°. The two rings (benzoyl and aniline) make a dihedral angle of 81.44 (5)°. N—H···O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into infinite chains running along the c-axis of the crystal (Table 1 & Fig. 2).
