In the title compound, C(13)H(17)NO, the cyclo-hexane ring adopts a chair conformation and the amide C(=O)-N moiety is almost coplanar with the phenyl ring [C-N-C-O = 4.1 (2)°]. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked to form a C(4) infinite [001] chain via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, unlike the cyclic motif seen in related structures.
