3-Methylamino-3-phenylpropan-1-ol
Abstract
The title compound, C10H15NO, is an amino alcohol with the hydroxy group residing on the terminal C atom. Apart from the hydroxy group and the phenyl ring, all non-H atoms are almost coplanar. In the crystal, classical O—H...N and N—H...O hydrogen bonds connect the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers [R22(12) descriptor] and tetrameric units [R44(8) descriptor] as ring motifs, consolidating a three-dimensional network.
