(E)-2-(2-Formylphenoxymethyl)-3-phenylprop-2-enenitrile

Abstract

In the title compound, C17H13NO2, the dihedral angle between the benzene and the phenyl ring is 65.92 (7)°. The carbonitrile side chain is almost linear, the C—C—N angle being 175.55 (14)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular C—H...O interactions.
