The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(15)H(15)NO, contains two independent mol-ecules, which differ in the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings [48.98 (9) and 57.48 (8)°]. The methyl groups in para positions are disordered over two equally occupied positions. An intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds which link the mol-ecules into chains running along the b axis.
