Crystal structure of 1-(2,4-di-methyl-phen-yl)urea.

In the title urea derivative, C9H12N2O, the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the mean plane of the urea group, N-C(=O)-N, is 86.6 (1)°. In the crystal, the urea O atom is involved in three N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Mol-ecules are linked via pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers with an R (2) 2(8) ring motif. The dimers are linked by further N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming two-dimensional networks lying parallel to (100).
