Crystal structure of 4-meth-oxy-N-phenyl-benzamide.

In the title mol-ecule, C14H13NO2, the dihedral angle between the planes of the benzene rings is 65.18 (4)°. The central amide group has about the same degree of twist with respect to both ring planes, as indicated by the dihedral angles of 34.70 (8) and 30.62 (8)° between its plane and that of the phenyl and 4-meth-oxy-benzene rings, respectively. The C atom of the meth-oxy group is close to being coplanar with its attached ring [deviation = -0.112 (2) Å]. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by inter-amide N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which generate C(4) chains propagating in the [100] direction. Adajcent mol-ecules in the chain are related by translational symmetry.
