The crystal packing of the title compound, C(13)H(19)NO·0.33C(7)H(8), shows a channel at [001], which contains grossly disordered toluene solvent mol-ecules. The angle between the benzene ring and the mean plane of the formamide group is 71.1 (1)°. The amide groups of neighbouring mol-ecules are connected by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming 2(1) helical chains propagating along [001]. Mol-ecules are also connected by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming 6(1) helices.
