3-[(3-Hydroxypropyl)amino]-1-phenylbut-2-en-1-one

Abstract

The title compound, C13H17NO2, has an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond, forming a planar six-membered ring with a mean deviation of 0.015 (5) Å from the plane. This plane makes a dihedral angle of 7.19 (8)° with the adjacent phenyl ring. Through an intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond, the molecules with their 21 screw and b-translation equivalents form a helical chain running parallel to the b axis.
