title: 2-Methyl-4-(2-methyl-benzamido)-benzoic acid.
abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(16)H(15)NO(3), inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains parallel to the b axis and pairs of inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between inversion-related carb-oxy-lic acid groups link the mol-ecules into dimers. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 82.4 (2)°.
