(Z)-3-(4-Methoxyanilino)-1-phenylbut-2-en-1-one

Abstract

In the title compound, C17H17NO2, the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 6.9 (1)°. The methoxy group is twisted slightly away from the aniline ring [C—O—C—C = 12.2 (3)°]. An intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond generating an S(6) ring is observed. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak C—H...O and C—H...π interactions, forming a two-dimensional network.
