Ethyl 2-[4-(benzyloxy)anilino]-4-oxo-4,5-dihydrofuran-3-carboxylate
Abstract
In the title compound, C20H19NO5, the dihydrofuran ring is almost planar [maximum deviation of 0.021 (2)°] and makes dihedral angles of 28.1 (7) and 54.5 (5)° with the benzyl and phenylamino rings, respectively. The molecular packing is stabilized by intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds and intermolecular C—H...O interactions.
