2-[4-(Morpholin-4-ylmethyl)phenyl]benzonitrile

Abstract

In the title compound, C18H18N2O, the morpholine ring adopts a chair conformation with the exocyclic N—C bond in an equatorial orientation. The dihedral angles between the central benzene ring and the morpholine ring (all atoms) and the cyanobenzene ring are 87.87 (7) and 52.54 (7)°, respectively. No significant intermolecular interactions are observed in the crystal structure.
