Trimethoxybenzoyl chloride (5.4 mmol) in CHCl3 was treated with 4-chloroaniline (21.6 mmol) under a nitrogen atmosphere at reflux for 4 h. Upon cooling, the reaction mixture was diluted with CHCl3 and washed consecutively with aq 1 M HCl and saturated aq NaHCO3. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. Crystallization of the residue in CHCl3 afforded the title compound (84%) as white needles: IR (KBr) 3226, 1665, 1616, 1520, 1352 cm-1; 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 8.13 (d, J = 8 Hz, 1H), 7.81 (d, J = 8 Hz, 1H), 7.51 (dd, J = 8 Hz, 1H), 7.66 (dd, J = 8 Hz, 1H), 7.43 (d, J = 8 Hz, 2H), 7.36 (br s, 1H), 7.25 (d, J = 8 Hz, 1H), 3.89 (9H, s, OMex3).

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. |

The benzanilide core is present in compounds with a wide range of biological activities that it has been called a privileged structure. Benzanilides serve as intermediates towards benzothiadiazin-4-ones (Makino et al., 2003), benzodiazepine-2,5-diones (Ho et al., 20022), and 2,3-disubstituted 3H-quinazoline-4-ones (Zhichkin et al., 2007). Benzanilides have established their efficacy as centroid elements of ligands that bind to a wide variety of receptor types. Thus benzanilides containing aminoalkyl groups originally designed as a peptidomimetic, have been incorporated in an Arg-Gly-Asp cyclic peptide yielding a high affinity GPIIb/IIIa ligand (Jackson et al., 1994). Imatinib is an ATP-site binding kinase inhibitor and platelet-derived growth factor receptor kinases (Capdeville et al., 2002). Benzamides have activities as acetyl-CoA carboxylase and farnesyl transferase inhibitors (Igawa et al., 1999)
Geometric parameters of the title compound, C16H16ClNO4, are in the usual ranges. The dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings is 67.33 (8)° and the torsion angles N1—C1—C2—C3 and C1—N1—C11—C12 are -31.1 (3)° and -39.2 (4)°, respectively. Of the three methoxy groups two of them lie nearly in plane with the aromatic ring, the O(3) group is almost perpendicular with C9—O3—C5—C4 of 92.2 (3)°. The crystal packing shows strong intermolecular N—H···O bonds that link molecules to endless chains along [-101]. Details are given in Table 1.
