1-[2-(3-Methoxyphenyl)ethyl]pyrrolidine-2,5-dione

In the title compound, C13H15NO3, the pyrrolidine ring makes a dihedral angle of 4.69 (9)° with the 3-meth-oxy-phenyl ring. In the crystal, hydrogen-bonded chains running along [101] are generated by connecting neighbouring mol-ecules via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Parallel chains are linked by further C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional structure.
