Abstract

In the title compound, C15H12N2O3, pairs of mol-ecules are linked into dimers by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming an R 2 2(12) ring motif, with the dimers stacked along the a axis. These dimers are connected through π-π stacking inter-actions between the centroids of the benzene and furan rings of their 2,3-di-hydro-1-benzo-furan ring systems. Furthermore, there exists a C-H⋯π inter-action that consolidates the crystal packing. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contacts are H⋯H (40.7%), O⋯H/H⋯O (24.7%), C⋯H/H⋯C (16.1%) and C⋯C (8.8%).

Keywords: 2,3-di­hydro-1-benzo­furan ring system; Hirshfeld surface analysis; crystal structure; dimers; hydrogen bonds.
