N-(2-Eth­oxy­phen­yl)formamide

The title compound, C₉H₁₁NO₂, was obtained as an unexpected product in an attempt to synthesize a triazene ligand. The title mol­ecule is almost planar, with the formamide and eth­oxy groups oriented at 2.7 (3) and 12.9 (2)°, respectively, with respect to the mean plane of the benzene ring. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by inter­molecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a chain along the a axis. Weak C—H...π inter­actions with an H...π distance of 2.78 Å reinforce the crystal packing, resulting in a three-dimensional network.
