Abstract: The title compound, C₁₆H₁₇NO₃, crystallizes in the space group P $\overline 1$ , with one molecule in the asymmetric unit. The amide H atom is engaged in an intramolecular N-HO contact to the O atom of one of the two carbonyl groups. The molecules form centrosymmetric dimers through self-complementary C-HO hydrogen-bonding interactions defining the R₂²(14)[R₂¹(6)] motif. The supramolecular structure is achieved by aryl C-H [pi] interactions, as well as face-to-face [pi] - [pi] stacking interactions between lactone and benzenoid rings.
