Crystal structure of phenyl N-(3,5-di­methyl­phenyl)carbamate

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(15)H(15)NO(2), contains two independent mol­ecules (A and B). The di­methyl­phenyl ring, the phenyl ring and the central carbamate N—C(=O)—O group are not coplanar. In mol­ecule A, the di­methyl­phenyl and phenyl rings are inclined to the carbamate group mean plane by 27.71 (13) and 71.70 (4)°, respectively, and to one another by 84.53 (13)°. The corresponding dihedral angles in mol­ecule B are 34.33 (11), 66.32 (13) and 85.48 (12)°, respectively. In the crystal, the A and B mol­ecules are arranged alternately linked through N—H⋯O(carbon­yl) hydrogen bonds, forming –A–B–A–B– chains, which extend along [100]. Within the chains and linking neighbouring chains there are C—H⋯π inter­actions present, forming columns along the a-axis direction. The columns are linked by offset π–π stacking inter­actions, forming a three-dimensional network [shortest centroid–centroid distance = 3.606 (1) Å].
