The molecular structure of the title compound, C15H15NO, involves an intramolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond. The central amide group –NH—C(=O)– is twisted by 37.95 (12)° out of the meta-substituted benzoyl ring and by 37.88 (12)° out of the ortho-substituted aniline ring. The two benzene rings are inclined to one another at only 4.2 (1)° having an interplanar spacing of ca 0.90 Å. The is stabilized by intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which link the molecules into chains running along the b axis. A weak intermolecular C—H⋯π interaction is also present.

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. Rod-like colourless single crystals of the title compound were obtained by slow evaporation from an ethanol solution of the compound (0.5 g in about 30 ml of ethanol) at room temperature.
All H atoms were visible in difference maps and then treated as riding atoms with C—H = 0.93 or 0.96 Å, N—H = 0.86 Å and O—H = 0.90 Å. The Uiso(H) values were set at 1.2Ueq(C aromatic, N) and 1.5Ueq(C methyl, O). The U values of the bonded atoms C7 and O1 have been subject (using the DELU instruction) to a rigid bond restraint, thus enforcing their anisotropic displacement components in the direction of the bond to be equal within a standard deviation of 0.005.

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 the substituent effects on the crystal structures of benzanilides (Bowes et al., 2003; Gowda et al., 2008a,b; Rodrigues et al., 2010), in the present work, the structure of N-(2-methylphenyl)-3-methylbenzamide (I) has been determined (Fig. 1). In the crystal, the ortho-methyl substituent on the anilino ring is positioned syn to the N–H bond, while the meta-methyl substituent on the benzoyl ring is positioned anti to the carbonyl C==O bond.
The structure of (I) involves an intramolecular C–H···O hydrogen bond (Table 1) with the ring atom C13 as a donor and the amido O atom as an acceptor. The two benzene rings are inclined to one another at only 4.2 (1)° with an interplanar spacing of ca0.90 Å. The central amide group –NH–C(=O)- is twisted by 37.95 (12)° out of the meta-substituted benzoyl ring and by 37.88 (12)° of the ortho-substituted anilino ring. The crystal packing (Fig. 2) is dominated by intermolecular N–H···O hydrogen bonds which link the molecules into the chains along [0 1 0]. A weak intermolecular C—H···π(arene) hydrogen bond is also present in the structure, and occurs between the C14 methyl group and the centroid Cg1(i) of the C1—C6 ring at the position (i): x, y - 1, z (Table 1).
