Summary: | The title compound, C22H19NO2, crystallizes with two independent molecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. The benzyloxy ring in molecule A is disordered over two sets of sites, with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.665 (6):0.335 (6). Both molecules have an E conformation about the C=C bond of the prop-2-en-1-one unit. In the major component of molecule A, the aminobenzene and benzyloxy rings are inclined to the central benzene ring by 20.12 (16) and 36.2 (3)°, respectively, and by 55.6 (3)° to one another. In molecule B, the corresponding dihedral angles are 23.65 (12), 10.24 (14) and 23.07 (14)°, respectively. In the crystal, the two molecules are linked by an N—H...O hydrogen bond. These A–B units are linked by N—H...π and C—H...π interactions, forming undulating sheets parallel to the ab plane.
