N-(3,4-Dimethyl-phen-yl)benzamide.

ABSTRACT: The conformation of the NH bond in the structure of the title compound (N34DMPBA), C(15)H(15)NO, is anti to the meta-methyl substituent in the aniline ring, similar to that observed with respect to the meta-chloro substituent in N-(3,4-dichloro-phen-yl)benzamide (N34DCPBA), but in contrast to the syn conformation observed with respect to the meta-methyl substituent in N-(3,4-dimethyl-phen-yl)acetamide. The bond parameters in N34DMPBA are similar to those in N34DCPBA and other benzanilides. The mol-ecules in N34DMPBA are packed into a column-like structure in the direction of the a axis through N-H?O hydrogen bonds.
