3-Benzyl-5-methyl-1,2-benzoxazole 2-oxide.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, C(15)H(13)NO(2), the isoxazole unit and the attached benzene ring are almost coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 1.42 (8)°. The benzyl ring is inclined to the isoxazole ring by 74.19 (8)° and is in a +sc conformation with respect to the benzisoxazole unit. In the crystal, C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules, forming zigzag chains propagating along the b axis. There are also π-π inter-actions present involving the isoxazole and benzyl rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.5209 (10) Å], and C-H⋯π inter-actions involving the benzene ring of the benzoisoxazole unit and the methyl-ene bridging group.
