title: N-(2,4-Dimethyl-phen-yl)-2-methyl-benzamide.
abstract: In the title compound, C(16)H(17)NO, 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 mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains running along the b axis.
