In the title compound, C17H17NO2, the phenyl­ene rings are nearly coplanar [dihedral angle 7.3 (1)°]. The acetamido group is twisted out of the plane of the aromatic ring in order to form an N–H⋯O hydrogen bond to the acetamido group of an adjacent mol­ecule, generating a helical chain running along the b axis.

Experimental top

The compound was synthesized in a study on indolostilbenes (Ahmad et al., 2009). Crystals were grown from its solution in ethyl acetate.

Refinement top

Hydrogen atoms were placed at calculated positions (C–H 0.95–0.98 Å) and were treated as riding on their parent carbon atoms, with U(H) set to 1.2–1.5 times Ueq(C). The amino H-atom was located in a difference Fourier map, and was refined with a distance restraint of N–H 0.88±0.01 Å; its temperature factor was refined. Friedel pairs were merged.
