2-(Prop-2-enyloxy)benzamide

Abstract

In the title mol­ecule, C ₁₀H ₁₁NO ₂, the benzene ring forms dihedral angles of 33.15 (2) and 6.20 (2)° with the mean planes of the amide and propen­oxy groups, respectively. The amide –NH ₂ group is oriented toward the propen­oxy substituent and forms a weak intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond to the propen­oxy O atom. The conformation of the propen­oxy group at the C sp ²—C sp ³ and C sp ³—O bonds is synperiplanar and anti­periplanar, respectively. In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the amide groups generate C(4) and R ² ₃(7) motifs that organize the mol­ecules into tapes along the a-axis direction. There are C—H⋯π inter­actions between the propen­oxy –CH ₂ group and the aromatic system of neighboring mol­ecules within the tape. The mean planes of the aromatic ring and the propen­oxy group belonging to mol­ecules located on opposite sites of the tape form an angle of 83.16 (2)°.
