Crystal Structure of 3-Acetoxy-2-methyl-N-(4-nitrophenyl)benzamide

Abstract

The structure of 3-acetoxy-2-methyl-N-(4-nitrophenyl)benzamide was determined by X-ray crystallography. The compound crystallized in a monoclinic system and it was characterized in the space group P2(1)/c with cell parameters a = 5.8658(3), b = 17.1661(10), c = 15.1938(7) angstrom, beta = 103.182(4)degrees, Z = 4, V = 1489.60(14) angstrom(3). The R1 [I > 2 sigma(I)] and wR2 (all data) values are 0.046 and 0.093, respectively, for all 2932 independent reflections. Intramolecular C3-H3 center dot center dot center dot O3 and intermolecular N2-H2 center dot center dot center dot O1, C5-H5 center dot center dot center dot O1 interactions were observed in the crystal lattice.
