N-(4-Methyl-benz-yl)-3-nitro-aniline.

In the title compound, C(14)H(14)N(2)O(2), the angle between the mean plane of the N-methyl-3-nitro-aniline system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0185 Å) and the p-tolyl unit is 89.79 (4)°. In the crystal, hydrogen-bonded chains running along [10-1] are generated by the linking of neighbouring mol-ecules via N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the 3-nitro-aniline systems and forming R(2) (2)(8) motifs.
