Ethyl (2E)-2-cyano-3-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)acrylate.
In the title compound, C13H13NO3, the conformation across the C=C bond is synperiplanar, the torsion angle of the segment C(ring)-C=C-C(N) being 3.2 (5)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into inversion dimers, arranged in a zigzag pattern, through two C-H⋯O inter-actions generating R 2 (2)(10) and R 2 (2)(14) motifs. These dimers are arranged in a zigzag pattern in the crystal structure. The mol-ecules are further linked along the c axis through weak C-H⋯π inter-actions, and weak π⋯π inter-actions [centroid-centroid separation = 3.9986 (17) Å] are also observed.
