A mixture of 3-nitrobenzaldehyde (10 mmol), 4-methoxyphenol (10 mmol) and iodine (0.4 mmol, 4 mol%) were mixed in acetonitrile (5 ml). To that suspension acetyl chloride (2.8 mmol, 0.2 ml) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 h. After the completion of the reaction (as monitored by TLC), saturated sodium thiosulfate solution (5 ml) was added. The precipitated solid was filtered and dried. The dried sample was washed with diethyl ether (2 × 10 ml) and again dried. Single crystals of the title compound suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of a solution in Ethanol.
The C atoms of the methoxy group are disordered over two positions with refined occupancies of 0.20 (3) and 0.80 (3). The corresponding bond distances involving the disordered atoms were restrained to be equal. H atoms were positioned geometrically, with N—H = 0.86, O—H = 0.82 and C—H = 0.93, 0.98 and 0.96 Å aromatic, methylene and methyl H, respectively, and were treated as riding on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C, N), where x = 1.2 for all H atoms.

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. |

N-(Substituted phenyl) acetamides are well known for their importance as intermediates in organic synthesis (Gowda et al., 2007). Depending on the types of substitution at the α, β and keto-C atoms, and the conformational flexibility of the substituent groups, a variety of β-acetamido ketones offering the possibility of intermolecular interactions can be obtained (Ghosh et al., 2005). The amide linkage [–NHC(O)-] is known to be strong enough to form and maintain protein architectures and has been utilized to create various molecular devices for a spectrum of purposes in organic chemistry. We have synthesized an amide system with an aromatic ring as a terminal group to determine how the rigid ring affects the conformational behavior. As part of our ongoing investigation of acetamide derivatives, the title compound has been prepared and its crystal structure is presented here.
The bond lenghts and angles are comparable with N-[(3-Nitro-phenyl)-(2-hydroxy-napthalen-1-yl)-methyl]-acetamide (NizamMohideen et al., 2009), a structure closely related to the title compound. The nitro group is slighty twisted out of the plane of the benzene ring, as indicated by O4—N2—C13—C14 and O3—N2—C13—C14 torsion angles of -8.6 (3) and 171.0 (2)°, respectively, and comparable with those in the previously reported structure mentioned above.
The dihedral angle between the C2—C7 and C9—C14 benzene rings is 73.7 (2)°. The dihedral angle between the acetamide residue and the benzene rings (C2—C7 and C9—C14) are 70.0 (1) and 37.4 (2)°, respectively.
The intermolecular aggregation of the molecules is determined by combination of N—H···O, C—H···O, O—H···O and C—H···π hydrogen bonds (Table 1). The crystal structure is characterized by intermolecular bifurcated acceptor hydrogen bonds between the benzene and acetamide groups (Fig. 2). Atom N1 and C14 in the molecule at (x, y, z) act as a hydrogen-bond donor via atom H1 and H14 to atom O4 in the molecule at (-x, 1 - y, -z). This intermolecular hydrogen bond links the molecule into dimers with a cyclic R22(16) and R22(10) (Bernstein et al., 1995) ring system, respectively. Atom C10 in the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as a hydrogen-bond donor via atom H10 to atom O1 in the molecule at (1 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z). This intermolecular hydrogen bond links the molecule into dimers with a cyclic R22(16) ring system. The crystal structure is further stabilized by C—H···π interactions involing rings C11—H11···Cg1 (Cg1 is the centroid of the C2—C7 ring) and C1—H1a···Cg2 (where Cg2 is the centroid of the C9—C14 ring).
