N-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)benzamide

Abstract

The conformation of the NH bond in the structure of the title compound (N34DMPBA), C15H15NO, is anti to the meta-methyl substituent in the aniline ring, similar to that observed with respect to the meta-chloro substituent in N-(3,4-dichloro­phen­yl)benzamide (N34DCPBA), but in contrast to the syn conformation observed with respect to the meta-methyl substituent in N-(3,4-dimethyl­phen­yl)acetamide. The bond parameters in N34DMPBA are similar to those in N34DCPBA and other benzanilides. The mol­ecules in N34DMPBA are packed into a column-like structure in the direction of the a axis through N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

4-Chloro-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)benzamide

“…The conformations of the N-H and C=O bonds in N26DMP4CBA ( Fig.1) are anti to each other, similar to that observed in N-(phenyl)-benzamide(NPBA) (Gowda et al, 2003), N-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-benzamide (Gowda et al, 2008a), N-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-benzamide and other benzanilides (Gowda et al, 2008b), with similar bond parameters.…”

“…In the present work, the structure of N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-4-chlorobenzamide (N26DMP4CBA) has been determined to study the effect of substituents on the solid state geometries of benzanilides (Gowda et al, 2003(Gowda et al, , 2008a.…”

“…Data collection: CAD-4-PC (Enraf-Nonius, 1996); cell refinement: CAD-4-PC; data reduction: REDU4 (Stoe & Cie, 1987); program(s) used to solve structure: SHELXS97 (Sheldrick, 2008); program(s) used to refine structure: SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 2008); molecular graphics: PLATON (Spek, 2003); software used to prepare material for publication: SHELXL97. As part of a study of the substituent effects on the structures of N-aromatic amides, in the present work, the structure of N-(3-methylphenyl)-2-methylbenzamide (N3MP2MBA) has been determined (Gowda et al, 2003;2008a;2008b). In the structure of N3MP2MBA ( Fig.…”
