N-(5-Phenylseleno)pentylphthalimide

W.-X. Zhang, H.-T. Yu, D.-R. Bai and J.-B. Meng

Abstract: Molecules of the title compound, C₁₉H₁₉NO₂Se, are linked into centrosymmetric dimers via hydrogen bonds of the C-HO type. There is also a weak - stacking interaction between parallel phthalimide groups belonging to neighbouring dimers in the crystal. The selenopentyl group has a planar zigzag conformation and is approximately coplanar with the phenyl ring. The phthalimide plane forms a dihedral angle of 80.46  (7)° with the least-squares plane of the phenylselenopentyl moiety.
