In the title compound, C14H12ClNO, the aromatic rings make a dihedral angle of 59.25 (5)°. The methyl group is disordered over two equally occupied positions. In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into infinite C(4) chains running along the a axis.

The title compound was prepared according to the method described by Gowda, Jyothi 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 of the compound (0.5 g in about 30 ml of ethanol) at room temperature.
All H atoms except the amide H atom were placed in calculated positions with C—H distances of 0.93 Å (C aromatic), 0.96 Å (C methyl) and constrained to ride on their parent atoms.
The methyl groups of the aromatic ring is disordered over two equally occupied positions rotated with respect to each other by 60°.
The amide H atom was found in a difference map and it was refined isotropically with the N—H distance restrained to 0.86 (2) Å. The Uiso(H) values were set at 1.2Ueq(C aromatic) and 1.5Ueq(C methyl).

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. |

The amide and sulfonamide moieties are the constituents of many biologically significant compounds. As part of our studies on the substituent effects on the structures and other aspects of N-(aryl)-amides (Bowes et al., 2003; Gowda et al., 2007; Saeed et al., 2010), N-(aryl)-methanesulfonamides (Jayalakshmi & Gowda, 2004), N-(aryl)-arylsulfonamides (Shetty & Gowda, 2005) and N-chloro-arylsulfonamides (Gowda, D'Souza & Kumar, 2003), in the present work, the crystal structure of N-(4-Chlorophenyl)-4-methylbenzamide, (I), has been determined (Fig. 1).
In (I), the N—H and C═O bonds are trans to each other. The two aromatic rings make a dihedral angle of 59.25 (5)°, while the central amide core –NH—C(═O)– group is twisted by 30.85 (8)° and 28.90 (9)° out of the planes of the 4-chlorphenyl and 4-methyphenyl rings, respectively.
The methyl group is disordered over two equally occupied positions.
In the crystal structure, intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into infinite chains running along the a-axis. Part of the crystal structure is shown in Fig. 2.
