R factor = 0.039; wR factor = 0.100; data-to-parameter ratio = 14.3. In the title compound, C14H12ClNO2, the mean plane through the amide group [–N—C O–] forms dihedral angles of 27.55 (8) and 31.94 (7) with the methoxy- and chloro-substituted benzene rings, respectively. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 59.24 (4). In the crystal, N— H O and weak C—H O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains along the a axis.
