Diphenyl (methylamido)phosphate

Abstract

The N—H bond in the title compound, C13H14NO3P, is syn-oriented relative to the P=O bond. The N atom deviates somewhat from planarity, the sum of the bond angles being 353.3°. The P atom has a distorted tetrahedral coordination; its bond angles are in the range 93.96 (5)–116.83 (6)°. In the crystal, molecules form centrosymmetric dimers through P=O...H—N hydrogen bonds.
