Crystal structure of 3-(diethylamino)phenol

Abstract

The title compound, C10H15NO, has two molecules in the asymmetric unit. Each molecule has a near-planar C8NO unit excluding H atoms and the terminal methyl groups on the diethylamino groups, with mean deviations from planarity of 0.036 and 0.063 Å. In the crystal, hydrogen bonding leads to four-membered O—H...O—H...O—H·· rings. No π–π interactions were observed in the structure.
