title: Crystal structure of 3-(3,4-di-methyl-anilino)-2-benzo-furan-1(3H)-one.
abstract: In the title compound, C16H15NO2, the 2-benzo-furan-1(3H)-one and 3,4-di-methyl-aniline fragments are oriented with a dihedral angle of 89.12 (5)°. N-H⋯O hydrogen-bond inter-actions join mol-ecules into C(6) chains propagating along the a axis. In addition, there are π-π stacking inter-actions between the 2-benzo-furan-one benzene rings [centroid-centroid dis-tance = 3.7870 (13) Å] and C-H⋯π inter-actions between one of the methyl groups and the 3,4-di-methyl-aniline benzene ring.
