In the title compound, C17H16ClNO3, the 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl group is planar [maximum atomic deviation = 0.0138 (16) Å] and is nearly perpendicular to the chlorobenzene ring, making a dihedral angle of 84.67 (4)°. The chlorobenzene and amide groups are located on the opposite sides of the C=C bond, showing an E configuration. The relatively long C=O bond distance of 1.2364 (19) Å and the short C-N bond distance of 1.341 (2) Å suggest electron delocalization in the amide fragment. Intermolecular O-H
O, N-H
O and weak C-H
O hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.
The title compound is a derivative of capsaicin. For the biological activity of capsaicin, see: Kaga et al. (1989
). For a related structure, see: Huang et al. (2010
). For electron delocalization in amide groups, see: Xia et al. (2009
).
