4-[(3-Meth-oxy-anilino)methyl-idene]-2-phenyl-1,3-oxazol-5(4H)-one.

In the title compound, C(17)H(14)N(2)O(3), the oxazolone ring is essentially planar [maximum deviation = 0.004†(1)†à ] 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 mol-ecules into chains running along the a axis. Neighbouring chains are inter-connected by π-π stacking, the centroid-centroid distance being 3.6201†(9)†à .
