N-(2-Eth-oxy-phen-yl)formamide.

The title compound, C(9)H(11)NO(2), was obtained as an unexpected product in an attempt to synthesize a triazene ligand. The title mol-ecule is almost planar, with the formamide and eth-oxy groups oriented at 2.7†(3) and 12.9†(2)°, respectively, with respect to the mean plane of the benzene ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a chain along the a axis. Weak C-H⋯π inter-actions with an H⋯π distance of 2.78†à reinforce the crystal packing, resulting in a three-dimensional network.
