In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(11)H(15)NO(2), the planar acetamide unit [maximum deviation of 0.0014 (6) Å] is oriented at a dihedral angle of 19.68 (4)° with respect to the aromatic ring. An intra-molecular C-H⋯O inter-action results in the formation of a six-membered ring. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains along the a axis.
