4-[(3-Meth­oxy­anilino)methyl­idene]-2-phenyl-1,3-oxazol-5(4H)-one

In the title compound, C₁₇H₁₄N₂O₃, the oxazolone ring is essentially planar [maximum deviation = 0.004 (1) Å] and is oriented with respect to the phenyl and benzene rings at 10.06 (9) and 5.63 (8)°, respectively; the dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and the benzene ring is 15.69 (8)°. In the crystal, N—H...O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains running along the a axis. Neighbouring chains are inter­connected by π–π stacking, the centroid–centroid distance being 3.6201 (9) Å.
