N-(2,6-Diisopropylphenyl)formamide

J. M. Chitanda, J. W. Quail and S. R. Foley

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₃H₁₉NO, exhibits a non-planar structure in which the 2,6-diisopropylphenyl ring is tilted at a dihedral angle of 77.4 (1)° with respect to the formamide group. This is the largest dihedral angle known among structurally characterized formamides. The molecules are linked via N-HO hydrogen bonds, forming infinite chains which run along the b-axis directions.
