Ethyl N-phenyl­oxamate

The oxamate group in the title compound, C₁₀H₁₁NO₃, is almost coplanar with the phenyl ring because of intramol­ecular hydrogen-bonding interactions, and the structure can be described as an anilide single bonded to an ethyl carboxyl­ate group. The supramolecular structure is achieved through intermolecular hard N—H⋯O and soft C—H⋯X (X = O and phenyl) hydrogen-bonding interactions.
