(Received 16 November 2012; accepted 22 November 2012; online 28 November 2012)

In the title compound, C9H12N2O, the mean plane through the amide group and the benzene ring form a dihedral angle of 33.93 (7)°. An intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond is present. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯N and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming double-stranded chains parallel to the b axis.

Comment top

Anthranilamide-based derivatives exhibit interesting biological activities such as antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and insecticidal effects (Gnamm et al., 2012; Lahm et al., 2005; Norman et al., 1996; Roe et al., 1999). We report here the crystal structure of the title compound 2-amino-N,3-dimethylbenzamide, an important organic intermediate in the synthesis of medicines, agricultural chemicals, and animal drugs.

In the title compound (Fig. 1), the least-square mean plane through the amide group (C8/C9/O1/N2) form a dihedral angle of 33.93 (7)° with the benzene ring. The molecular conformation is stabilized by an intramolecular N—H···O hydrogen bond (Table 1). In the crystal structure, intermolecular N—H···N and N—H···O hydrogen interactions link molecules into double chains running parallel to the b axis.

Experimental top

The title compound was prepared according to the literature method (Witt & Bergman, 2000) by stirring isatoic anhydride with aqueous methylamine. Isatoic anhydride was prepared by reaction of anthranilic acid with triphosgene in good yield (Coppola, 1980). The title compound (0.2 g) was dissolved in ethanol (50 ml) at room temperature. Colourless blocks were obtained through slow evaporation after two weeks.

Refinement top

The H atoms were placed at calculated positions, with C—H = 0.93–0.98 Å, and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2–1.5Ueq(C). 841 Friedel pairs were not merged.

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
