N‐(3‐Iodo­propyl)­phthal­imide

In the mol­ecule of the title compound, C₁₁H₁₀INO₂, the phthal­imide group is not exactly planar. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the phthal­imide and iodo­propyl moieties is 76.6 (2)°. The structure is stabilized by intermolecular C—H?O and C—H?I interactions, and an intermolecular I?O interaction of 3.571 (4) Å, the latter linking the mol­ecules into infinite chains.
