The conformation of the C=O bond in the structure of the title compound, C(14)H(13)NO, is anti to the meta-methyl substituent in the benzoyl ring. The conformations of the N-H and C=O bonds in the amide group are also anti to each other. The asymmetric unit of the structure contains two mol-ecules. The bond parameters are similar to those in N-(phen-yl)benzamide, 2-methyl-N-(phenyl)-benz-amide ...
