The solution of 4-chlorobenzenamine (12.75 g, 0.1 mol) and triethylamine (14 ml, 0.1 mol) in CCl4 (20 ml) was placed in a three-necked flask equipped with reflux condenser, dropping funnel and mechanical stirrer. The 1-chloromethylbenzene (13.91 g, 0.11 mol) in CCl4 (20 ml) was added at a rate such as to produce gentle reflux at room temperature. The crude product was recrystallized from C2H5OH; yield (21.54 g, 90%). N-benzyl-4-chlorobenzenamine (10.89 g, 0.05 mol) was stirred at ice-water in the presence of 2-propenoyl chloride (4.9 ml, 0.06 mol) and triethylamine (8.4 ml, 0.06 mol) in CCl4 (20 ml). The mixture was washed with water and the organic layer was dried by MgSO4. The crude product was purified by flash
on silica gel (light petroleum/EtOAc, 8:1) to obtain the product (8.23 g, 61%). Colorless crystals of the N-benzyl-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-phenyl-propanamide suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained from an ethyl acetate solution over one week.H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H distances 0.93–0.97 Å and treated as riding, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).
Many active molecules in nature contain highly functionalized heterocyclic rings (Fairlamb, 2004). In recent research, we report a novel palladium catalyzed Heck intermolecular reactions of aryl halides with the nitron-containing
(Hu et al., 2003). We found that polyene amide was prepared by two steps (Riggi et al., 1992). The substrate of N-benzyl-N-(4-chlorophenyl)acrylamide is used to obtain this pyrrole skeleton (Park & Hoffmann, 1990; Otero & Cantero, 1995).In this paper, we report the π interaction [C6—H6···Cg1ii, Cg1 is the centroid of atoms C15 and C16; symmetry code: (ii) -x,1 - y,1 - z]. These weak intermolecular interactions extended the title compound molecules into a one-dimensional chain structure (Fig. 2) along the b axis.
of the title compound, C16H14ClNO (Fig. 1). The crystal data show that all bond lengths and angles in the title compound have normal values. The bond length of C15=C16 is 1.288 (4) Å, belonging to typical Csp2—Csp2 double bonds. The molecule contains two six-membered rings, A (C1—C6) and B (C8—C13). Rings A and B are not coplanar, the dihedral angle between ring A and ring B being 49.79 (11)°. In the structure there are a weak intermolecular C—H···O interaction [C2—H2···O1i, symmetry code: (i) -x, -y, 1 - z] and a C—H···For related literature, see: Fairlamb (2004); Hu et al.

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. |

Many active molecules in nature contain highly functionalized heterocyclic rings (Fairlamb, 2004). In recent research, we report a novel palladium catalyzed Heck intermolecular reactions of aryl halides with the nitron-containing olefins (Hu et al., 2003). We found that polyene amide was prepared by two steps (Riggi et al., 1992). The substrate of N-benzyl-N-(4-chlorophenyl)acrylamide is used to obtain this pyrrole skeleton (Park & Hoffmann, 1990; Otero & Cantero, 1995).
In this paper, we report the crystal structure of the title compound, C16H14ClNO (Fig. 1). The crystal data show that all bond lengths and angles in the title compound have normal values. The bond length of C15=C16 is 1.288 (4) Å, belonging to typical Csp2—Csp2 double bonds. The molecule contains two six-membered rings, A (C1—C6) and B (C8—C13). Rings A and B are not coplanar, the dihedral angle between ring A and ring B being 49.79 (11)°. In the structure there are a weak intermolecular C—H···O interaction [C2—H2···O1i, symmetry code: (i) -x, -y, 1 - z] and a C—H···π interaction [C6—H6···Cg1ii, Cg1 is the centroid of atoms C15 and C16; symmetry code: (ii) -x,1 - y,1 - z]. These weak intermolecular interactions extended the title compound molecules into a one-dimensional chain structure (Fig. 2) along the b axis.
