3-(Phenylimino)indolin-2-one
Abstract
The imino C=N double bond in the title compound, C14H10N2O, exists in an E conformation, with the phenyl ring being twisted by 80.7 (1)° in one independent molecule and by 81.4 (1)° in the other with respect to the plane of the indoline fused-ring system. The two independent molecules are linked by N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a zigzag chain running along the a axis.
