N-{2-[4-(2-Hydroxyethyl)piperazin-1-yl]ethyl}phthalimide

Abstract

In the title compound, C16H21N3O3, the piperazine ring adopts a chair conformation, with its N—C bonds in pseudo-equatorial orientations. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—H...N hydrogen bonds, generating C(5) chains propagating in [101]. Weak aromatic π–π stacking interactions also occur [centroid–centroid separation = 3.899 (1) Å].
