In the mol-ecular structure of the title compound, C(16)H(14)ClNO, the acrylamide unit is essentially planar and makes dihedral angles of 80.06 (12) and 68.91 (13)°, respectively, with the benzene and phenyl rings. The dihedral angle between the two rings is 49.79 (11)°. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are connected via weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions, forming a mol-ecular tape running along the b axis.
