N,N-Dicyclohexyl-4-nitrobenzamide

The title compound, C19H26N2O3, crystallizes with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit which differ in the twist of the phenyl rings with respect to the plane of the amide group [the C—C—C—O torsion angles are 121.5 (3) and −119.6 (3)° in the two molecules. Both cyclohexane rings adopt chair conformations. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯O interactions occur. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin with a minor component of 4.8 (1)%.
