In the title compound, C17H17NO2, the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 55.2 (2)°. The methoxy group is slightly twisted away from the aniline ring [dihedral angle = 10.3 (2)°]. An intramolecular N—H⋯O interaction is present. In the crystal, the molecules are linked into a three-dimensional supramolecular network through two sets of C—H⋯π interactions.

A mixture of the 1-phenylbutane-1,3-dione (5 mmol), 2-methoxybenzenamine (5 mmol) and InBr3 (0.05 mmol) was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was diluted with H2O (10 ml) and extracted with EtOAc (210 ml).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

β-Enamino ketones have attracted much interest because they are versatile intermediates for the synthesis of natural therapeutic and biologically active analogues including taxo anticonvulsivant (Azzaro et al., 1981), anti-inflammatory (Dannhardt et al., 1998) and antitumor agents (Boger et al., 1989) as well as quinolone antibacterials (Wang et al., 1982) It is therefore not surprising that many synthetic methods have been developed for the preparation of these compounds (Greenhill et al.,1977; Elassar et al., 2003). In our developing new environmental friendly methodologies (Zhang et al., 2006) for the preparation of β-enamino ketones, we synthesized the title compound (I) (Fig.1), the synthesis and crystal structure of which are reported here.
In the title compound, the ring C1—C6 forms dihedral angles of 10.3 (2)° and 124.8 (2)°, respectively, with the C7—O1—C2 methoxy group and the C12—C17. The bond lengths C10—C11 [1.417 (3) Å] and N1—C9 [1.349 (2) Å] are slightly shorter than corresponding C11—C12 [1.497 (3) Å], and N1—C1[1.404 (2) Å], indicating a weak electron delocalization.
In the crystal, each four centrosymmetry related molecules are linked by C3—H1—Cg1 interactions into a four-leaves windmill (Fig.2), which are further linked into a three-dimensional supramolecular network by C16—H16—Cg2 interactions(Fig.3). The C—H···π distance is 2.79Å for C3—H1—Cg1 (Cg1: C1/C2—C3), with an angle of 152.8 (2)° and 2.78%A for C16—H16—Cg13 with an angle of 166.5 (3)°.
