Hirshfeld Surface Analysis and Crystal Structure of N -(2-Methoxy-Phenyl)acetamide

Abstract

The title compound, C<inf>9</inf>H 11 NO<inf>2</inf>, was obtained as unexpected product from the reaction of (4-{2-benzyloxy-5-[(E)-(3-chloro-4-methylphenyl)diazenyl]benzylidene}-2-phenyloxazol-5(4H)-one) with 2-methoxyaniline in the presence of acetic acid as solvent. The amide group is not coplanar with the benzene ring, as shown by the C - N - C - O and C - N - C - C torsion angles of -2.5 (3) and 176.54 (19)°, respectively. Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots indicate that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H...H (53.9%), C...H/H...C (21.4%), O...H/H...O (21.4%) and N...H/H...N (1.7%) interactions. © 2019 Yaman et al.
