In the title molecule, C17H19NO5, the amide plane is oriented at an angle of 41.5 (3)° with respect to the 2-methoxybenzene ring. The three methoxy groups lie almost in the plane of the aromatic rings to which they are attached [C—O—C—C torsion angles of of 0.7 (4), −13.4 (4) and 3.1 (4)°], whereas the methoxy group at the 4-position of the 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzene ring is nearly perpendicularly oriented [C—O—C—C torsion angle of 103.9 (3)°]. In the intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains along [001].

3,4,5-Trimethoxybenzoyl chloride (1 mmol) in CHCl3 was treated with 2-methoxyaniline (3.5 mmol) under a nitrogen atmosphere at reflux conditions for 5 h. Upon cooling, the reaction mixture was diluted with CHCl3 and washed consecutively with 1 M aq HCl and saturated aq NaHCO3. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. Crystallization of the residue in methanol afforded the title compound (84%) as white needles: Anal. calc. for C17H19NO5: C 64.34, H 6.03, N 4.41%; found: C 64.31, H 6.09, N 4.34%
All H atoms were clearly identified in difference syntheses, then refined at calculated positions riding on the carbon atoms (C–H = 0.95–0.99 Å) with isotropic displacement parameters Uiso(H) = 1.2U(Ceq) or 1.5U(–CH3). All CH3 hydrogen atoms were allowed to rotate but not to tip. H(N) was refined freely with a restained (DFIX) N–H distance. The title compound crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric
P ca21; however, in the absence of significant effects, the is essentially meaningless. Accordingly, Friedel pairs were merged.Data collection: SMART (Bruker, 2002); cell

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 background of this work has been described in our earlier paper (Saeed et al. 2008).
The molecular structure of the title compound (Fig. 1) is similar to that of ICULOH (Parra et al., 2001), but with 3,4,5-methoxy substitution of the benzamide ring. Methoxy groups O2, O3 and O5 lie almost in plane of the corresponding aromatic rings with torsion angles C8–O2–C7–C6 of 0.7 (4)°, C15–O3–C11–C10 of -13.4 (4)° and C17–O5–C13–C14 of 3.1 (4)°, respectively, whereas the O4-group is nearly perpendicular oriented with C16–O4–C12–C13 of 103.9 (3)°. The two aromatic planes make a dihedral angle of 67.66 (9)° and the angle between the amide group and the 2-methoxy benzene ring is 41.5 (3)°. In the cystal structure, intermolecular N–H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the molecules into infinite chains along the [001] direction (Fig. 2).
