The title compound, C9H11NO2, was obtained as unexpected product from the reaction of (4-{2-benzyloxy-5-[(E)-(3-chloro-4-methylphenyl)diazenyl]benzylidene}-2-phenyloxazol-5(4H)-one) with 2-methoxyaniline in the presence of acetic acid as solvent. The amide group is not coplanar with the benzene ring, as shown by the C-N-C-O and C-N-C-C torsion angles of -2.5 (3) and 176.54 (19)degrees, respectively. Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots indicate that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H center dot center dot center dot H (53.9%), C center dot center dot center dot H/H center dot center dot center dot C (21.4%), O center dot center dot center dot H/H center dot center dot center dot O (21.4%) and N center dot center dot center dot H/H center dot center dot center dot N (1.7%) interactions.
