The title compound, C(14)H(12)ClNO(2), was prepared by refluxing 4-chloro-benzoyl chloride with o-anisidine in CHCl(3). The methoxy-phen-yl-amide segment of the mol-ecule is almost planar, with a dihedral angle of 5.10 (7)° between the benzene ring and the C-N-C(O)-C fragment. A weak intra-molecular N-H⋯O contact forms an S(5) ring and contributes to the planarity of this portion of the mol-ecule. The two benzene rings are inclined at an angle of 26.74 (7)°. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular Cl⋯O inter-actions of 3.1874 (9) Å generate centrosymmetric dimers. These are further linked by C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions, forming inversion related sheets parallel to [001].
