N-(4-Chloro-phen-yl)-3-methyl-benzamide.

In the structure of the title compound, C(14)H(12)ClNO, the conformations of the N-H and C=O bonds are anti to each other. Furthermore, the conformation of the C=O bond is syn to the meta-methyl group in the benzoyl ring. The central -NH-C(=O)- amido group makes a dihedral angle of 32.4†(1)° with the benzoyl ring and 36.1†(1)° with the anilino ring. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 68.4†(1)°. In the crystal, inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains running along the a axis.
