Crystal structure of 2-(2-amino­phen­yl)-1,3-benzoxazole

Crystals of the title compound, C(13)H(10)N(2)O, were grown from a di­chloro­methane/ketone/methanol solvent mixture. It crystallizes with two mol­ecules, A and B, in the asymmetric unit with very similar almost planar conformations [dihedral angles between the ring planes = 0.74 (8) and 0.67 (6)° for mol­ecules A and B, respectively; r.m.s. overlay fit = 0.019 Å]. Each mol­ecule features an intra­molecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bond, which closes an S(6) ring and therefore establishes a syn relationship for the N atoms. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, generating [100] chains containing alternating A and B mol­ecules. Weak aromatic π–π stacking [minimum centroid–centroid separation = 3.6212 (9) Å] links the chains into a three-dimensional network.
