5-Acetyl-3-hydroxy-4-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2(3H)-one

In the title compound, C17H16N2O3, the seven-membered diazepine ring adopts a boat conformation with the hydroxy-substituted C atom at the prow and fused benzene ring C atoms at the stern. The phenyl substituent occupies an equatorial position. The amino group of the ring system is a hydrogen-bond donor to the oxo O atom of an inversion-related molecule, and the hydroxy group is a hydrogen-bond donor to the acetyl O atom of another inversion-related molecule. The two hydrogen bonds generate a ribbon motif parallel to [10overline{1}] in the crystal structure
