Hirshfeld surface analysis and crystal structure of N-(2-methoxyphenyl)acetamide

The title compound, C9H11NO2, was obtained as unexpected product from the reaction of (4-{2-benz­yloxy-5-[(E)-(3-chloro-4-methyl­phen­yl)diazen­yl]benzyl­idene}-2-phenyl­oxazol-5(4H)-one) with 2-meth­oxy­aniline in the presence of acetic acid as solvent. The amide group is not coplanar with the benzene ring, as shown by the C—N—C—O and C—N—C—C torsion angles of −2.5 (3) and 176.54 (19)°, respectively. Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots indicate that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯H (53.9%), C⋯H/H⋯C (21.4%), O⋯H/H⋯O (21.4%) and N⋯H/H⋯N (1.7%) inter­actions.
