Comment top

The title compound (E)—N-(3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl)-3-methoxybut-2-enamide was an important intermediate to the 3, 4-dihydroisoquinoline and some other heterocyclic compounds (Bernhard & Snieckus, 1971; Ma et al., 2006). In this paper, we use 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine and 3-methoxy-2-butenoyl chloride to synthesize the title compound and report its crystal structure here.

The title compound C15H21NO4(Fig. 1), all bond lengths in the molecular are normal (Allen et al., 1987). The intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds [N···O 2.842 (2) Å] link the molecules related by translation along c axis into hydrogen-bonded chains.

Special details top

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.
