| Summary: | In the title compound, C19H17N2O2P, the six-membered 1,3,2-oxazaphosphinine ring adopts a boat conformation with the phosphoryl O atom in an equatorial position. The dihedral angle between the 6-methyl-2-pyridyl and phenyl groups is 75.5 (1)°. These substituents are trans to each other, and are oriented at angles of 57.2 (1) and 74.8 (1)°, respectively, to the benzene ring. The crystal structure is stabilized by intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The phosphoryl O atom participates in intermolecular C—H...O interactions with the neighbouring molecules, forming centrosymmetric R22(14) dimers.
