1-Phenyl­isatin

In the title compound, C(14)H(9)NO(2), the phenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 50.59 (5)° with the mean plane of the isatin fragment. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked through weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure also exhibits two slipped π–π inter­actions between the benzene rings of neighbouring mol­ecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.968 (3) Å, inter­planar distance = 3.484 (3) Å and slippage = 1.899 (3) Å], and between the phenyl rings of neighbouring mol­ecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.968 (3) Å, inter­planar distance = 3.638 (3) Å and slippage = 1.584 (3) Å].
