N -(5-Cyano-nonan-5-yl)benzamide, C 17 H 24 N 2 O, synthesized from the reaction between benzoyl chloride and 2-amino-2-butyl-hexa-nenitrile, is an important inter-mediate in amino acid synthesis. Inter-molecular N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds with N⋯O and C⋯O distances of 3.083 (2) and 3.304 (2) Å, respectively, link adjacent mol-ecules into chains along the a axis. The dihedral angle between the mean plane of the phenyl group and the plane of the amide group is 19.504 (4)°.
