Crystal structure of 3-(3,4-dimethylanilino)-2-benzofuran-1(3H)-one

Abstract

In the title compound, C16H15NO2, the 2-benzo­furan-1(3H)-one and 3,4-di­methyl­aniline fragments are oriented with a dihedral angle of 89.12 (5)°. N—H⋯O hydrogen-bond inter­actions join mol­ecules into C(6) chains propagating along the a axis. In addition, there are π–π stacking inter­actions between the 2-benzo­furan­one benzene rings [centroid–centroid dis­tance = 3.7870 (13) Å] and C—H⋯π inter­actions between one of the methyl groups and the 3,4-di­methyl­aniline benzene ring.
