Crystal Structure of N-2-Methoxyphenyl-2-Oxo-5-Nitro-1-Benzylidenemethylamine

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, C<inf>14</inf>H<inf>12</inf>N<inf>2</inf>O<inf>4</inf>, was determined by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique, (Fig. 1). The title compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pca2<inf>1</inf> with the following unit-cell parameters: a = 18.4391(15)Å, b = 4.2710(2)Å, c = 32.2187(16)Å and V = 2537.3(3)Å3. The crystal data were solved with a final R = 0.062 using 2394 independent reflections. There are two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The title compound adopts the keto-amine tautomeric form. In the structure, there are N-H...O and C-H ···O intramolecular hydrogen bonds and C-H · · ·O intermolecular hydrogen bonds. 2008 © The Japan Society for Analytical Chemistry.
