In the title compound, C14H19NO, the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the plane of the amide group is 80.6 (1)°. In the crystal, molecules are connected via weak C-HO hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the c-axis direction. The conformation of the five-memebred ring is an envelope, with one of the ring C atoms adjacent to the ring N atom as the flap atom.
For background to the applications of the title compound as an intermediate in organic synthesis, an important organic synthesis intermediate, see: Richard et al. (2001). For the synthetic procedure, see: Richard et al. (1995). For bond-length data, see: Allen et al. (1987).
