Abstract

The title mol-ecule, C(10)H(9)NO, is almost planar with an r.m.s. deviation for all non-H atoms of 0.0115 Å. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected through N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains running along [021]. The chains are further connected via C-H⋯π inter-actions, forming layers in the bc plane.
