In the title compound, C(19)H(23)IN(2)O(2), the cyclo-hexane ring adopts a chair conformation, and the mean plane of the propiolamide unit is approximately perpendicular to the benzene ring [dihedral angle = 88.12 (13)°]. Weak intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding is observed between the carbonyl group and the benzene ring. In the crystal, classical N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak C-H⋯O inter-actions are present.
