Abstract: The crystal structure of 2-methyl-2-phenyl-1,3-propanediol dicarbamate (methylfelbamate), C₁₂H₁₆N₂O₄, contains two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. The hydrogen-bonding scheme is three-dimensional and involves interactions of the type N-HO, C-HO and N-H(-arene). Stereochemical and molecular modelling investigations indicate that the mechanism for anti-epileptic action of the compound is probably different from those of other anticonvulsants.
