title: 2,2-Diphenyl-acetamide.
abstract: In the title compound, C(14)H(13)NO, which has two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit, the dihedral angles between the mean planes of the benzene rings are 84.6 (7) and 85.0 (6)°. N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds [forming R(2) (2)(8) ring motifs] and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds dominate the crystal packing, forming zigzag chains parallel to the a axis. In addition, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions are observed.
