In the title compound, C16H17NO, the N—H bond is in an anti conformation with respect to the C=O bonds. The aniline and benzoyl rings are almost coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 4.9 (3)°. The plane of the amide group makes an angle of 61.3 (3)° with the aniline ring and 58.3 (3)° with the benzoyl ring. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains running along the b axis.

The title compound was prepared according to the method described by Gowda et al. (2003). The purity of the compound was checked by determining its melting point. It was characterized by recording its infrared and NMR spectra. Plate-like colourless single crystals of the title compound were obtained by slow evaporation from an ethanol solution (0.5 g in about 30 ml of ethanol) at room temperature.
H atoms attached to C atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined within a riding model with C—H distances of 0.93 or 0.96 Å. The coordinates of the H atom of the amide group were refined with a restraint of 0.86 (2)Å for the H—N distance. The Uiso(H) values were set at 1.2 Ueq(C-aromatic, N) and 1.5 Ueq(Cmethyl).

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. |

In the present work, as part of our study of substituent effects on the structures of benzanilides (Gowda et al., 2003; 2008a, b, c), the structure of 2-methyl-N-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)benzamide has been determined. The N—H and C=O bonds in the amide segment are anti to each other (Fig. 1), similar to what is observed in 2-methyl-N-(phenyl)benzamide (Gowda et al., 2008a), 2-methyl-N-(4-methylphenyl)benzamide (Gowda et al., 2008c), 2-methyl-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-benzamide (Gowda et al., 2008b) and other benzanilides. Further, the conformation of the amide oxygen is syn to the ortho-methyl group in the benzoyl ring and the amide hydrogen is syn to the ortho-methyl group in the aniline ring. The anilino and benzoyl rings are almost coplanar with a dihedral angle of 4.9 (3)°. The plane of the amide group makes the angles of 61.3 (3)° with the anilino ring and 58.3 (3)° with the benzoyl ring. A packing diagram of the title compound viewed in the bc-plane is shown in Fig. 2. Molecular chains running along the b-axis are generated by N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1).
