N-Benzylaniline

Abstract

The title compound, C13H13N, is an N-alkylated derivative of aniline. The N atom is present in a nearly planar molecular geometry (angles sums at the N atom are 358 and 359° in the two molecules of the asymmetric unit). The planes defined by the aromatic rings intersect at angles of 80.76 (4) and 81.40 (4)° in the two molecules. In the crystal, N-H⋯Cg interactions connect the two molecules of the asymmetric unit to form infinite homodromic chains along the crystallographic b axis [N⋯π = 3.4782 (12) and 3.4642 (13) Å ].
