Abstract

The whole molecule of the title compound, C22H19NO2, is generated by twofold rotational symmetry. The N atom exhibits a trigonal-planar geometry and is located on the twofold rotation axis. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C-H center dot center dot center dot O contacts with R-2(2)(12) ring motifs, and C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions, resulting in ribbons along the c-axis direction. van der Waals interactions between these ribbons consolidate the molecular packing. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the greatest contributions to the crystal packing are from H center dot center dot center dot H (45.5%), C center dot center dot center dot H/H center dot center dot center dot C (38.2%) and O center dot center dot center dot H/H center dot center dot center dot O (16.0%) interactions.
