2-[Anilino(di­phenyl­phosphoryl)methyl]phenol from a three-component Kabachnik–Fields reaction

The title compound was synthesized in high yield by a three-component Kabachnik–Fields reaction. It precipitates as racemic crystals in which strong hydrogen bonds between the hy­droxy group and the P=O group of a neighbouring mol­ecule form one-dimensional heterochiral chains.
