The dihedral angle between the planes of the formamide moiety and the aryl ring is 68.06 (10) . In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H O hydrogen bonds, forming infinite chains along the c axis.enInternational Union of CrystallographySingle-crystal X-ray studyT = 293 KR factor = 0.048wR factor = 0.138Data-to-parameter ratio = 11.0Mean (C–C) = 0.003 A°Article
