(2E)-2-Benzyl-idene-9-phenyl-3,4-di-hydro-acridin-1(2H)-one

Abstract

In the title compound, C26H19NO, the plane of the aromatic heterocycle makes a dihedral angle of 75.22 (4)° with that of the attached phenyl ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected by C-H⋯O inter-actions, generating R 2 (2)(12) dimers. These dimers are further connected by C-H⋯π inter-actions, linking the mol-ecules into chains running along the a-axis direction.

Keywords: crystal structure.
