In the molecular structure of the title compound, C15H15NO3, the two benzene rings are twisted with respect to each other, making a dihedral angle of 75.11 (10)°. In the amide fragment, the C=O and C—N bond distances are 1.248 (3) and 1.321 (3) Å, respectively, indicating electron delocalization. A partially ovelapped arrangement between parallel hydroxymethoxybenzene rings is observed in the and the face-to-face distance of 3.531 (16) Å suggests the existence of weak π–π stacking. N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding is also present in the crystal structure.

4-Hydroxy-3-methoxy benzylamine HCl salt (4.7 g, 25 mmol) and dimethylformamide (25 ml) were added to a 100 ml 3-necked flask equipped with an additional funnel, a thermometer and a magnetic stirrer. Water solution (10 ml) of NaOH (2.0 g) was added at room temperature. The mixture was stirred at 308 K for 30 min and then cooled to 273 K. An ether solution (10 ml) of benzoyl chloride (3.5 g, 25 mmol) was added dropwise at about 273 K over 20 min. After stirred for 2 h at room temperature the mixture was poured into water, and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate extract was washed with 1 M HCl followed by saturated NaHCO3 and brine. The extract was then dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and filtered. Solvents were removed under vacuum at about 308 K to give a solid crude. Recrystallization was performed twice with an absolute ethyl acetate to obtain single crystals of the title compound.
Hydroxy and imino H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and were refined isotropically. Methyl H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.96 Å and torsion angle was refined to fit the electron density, Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C). Other H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.93 (aromatic) and 0.97 Å (methylene), and refined in riding mode with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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. |

Capsaicin, a pungent principle of capsicums, has been known to exhibit a variety of biological activities, including recent findings concerning its mutagenicity (Kaga et al. 1989). During the investigation on syntheses of capsaicin and its derivatives, the title compound has recently been obtained and its crystal structure is reported here.
In the molecular structure of the title compound (Fig. 1), two benzene rings are twisted to each other with a dihedral angle of 75.11 (10)°, which is similar to 72.1 (2)° found in N-2-chlorobenzylbenzamide (Luo & Huang, 2004) but is somewhat larger than 56.32 (17)° found in N-(4-Cyanobenzyl)benzamide (Tong et al. 2008). The amide flagment is nearly coplanar with the C1-benzene ring [dihedral angle 5.0 (4)°]. The C7═O1 and C7—N1 bond distances are 1.248 (3) and 1.321 (3) Å, respectively, showing the electron delocalization in the amide fragment.
A partially ovelapped arrangement between parallel C9-benzene and C9i-benzene rings is observed in the crystal structure (Fig. 2), the face-to-face distance of 3.531 (16) Å suggests the existence of weak π-π stacking between them [symmetry code: (i) 1 - x,1 - y,-z]. The N—H···O and O—H···O hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure (Table 1 and Fig. 2), which helps to stabilize the crystal structure.
