Benzyl N-(4-pyridyl)carbamate

Abstract

The title compound, C13H12N2O2, was obtained by the reaction of 4-aminopyridine and benzyl chloroformate in tetrahydrofuran. The crystal structure contains N—H...N hydrogen bonds between two unique molecules within layers and antiparallel C—O...O—C interactions [O...O = 3.06 (3) Å] between the two molecules of the asymmetric unit.
