2-(5-Methyl-1-benzofuran-3-yl)- N -(2-phenylethyl)acetamide

Abstract

The title compound, C 19 H 19 NO 2 , is non-planar with the phenyl ring of the phenethylacetamide residue inclined to the benzofuran ring system by 84.8 (3)°. The methyl group lies in the plane of the fused ring system [C—C—C—C torsion angle = −179.6 (3)°]. In the crystal, N—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains along the a -axis direction. π–π stacking interactions with a centroid-to-centroid distances of 3.497 (3) Å further stabilize the structure, stacking the molecules along a .
