title: 3-[(3-Hydroxypropyl)amino]-1-phenyl-but-2-en-1-one.
abstract: The title compound, C(13)H(17)NO(2), has an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond, forming a planar six-membered ring with a mean deviation of 0.015 (5) Å from the plane. This plane makes a dihedral angle of 7.19 (8)° with the adjacent phenyl ring. Through an inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond, the mol-ecules with their 2(1) screw and b-translation equivalents form a helical chain running parallel to the b axis.
