Description
Summary:In the title compound, C17H17NO2, the phenylene rings are bent with respect to the carbon–carbon double bond [dihedral angle between rings = 39.6 (1)°]. The acetamido group is twisted out of the plane of the aromatic ring [dihedral angle = 44.2 (1)°] in order to form an N–H...O hydrogen bond to the acetamido group of an adjacent molecule, generating a zigzag chain running along the c axis.
