The molecular structure of the title compound, C17H18N2O2, is symmetrical around the central C atom. The two halves of the molecule are related by a twofold rotation axis. In each half of the molecule, the structure is stabilized by intramolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Furthermore, each amide group is almost coplanar with the adjacent benzene ring [dihedral angle is 9.2 (2)°]. The planes of the amide groups are inclined at an angle of 68.5 (1)°, while the two benzene rings make a dihedral angle of 70.40 (3)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains running along the c axis. Neighbouring chains are weakly coupled by π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.7952 (8) Å].

Malonic acid (0.3 mol) in dichloromethane (30 ml) was treated with m-toluidine (0.6 mol) in dichloromethane (30 ml), dropwise with stirring. The resulting mixture was stirred for 3 hrs and kept aside for 12 hrs for the completion of reaction and evaporation of the solvent, dichloromethane. The product obtained was added to crushed ice to obtain the precipitate. The latter was thoroughly washed with water and then with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and washed again with water. It was then given a wash with 2 N HCl. It was again washed with water, filtered, dried and recrystallized to the constant melting point from ethanol.
Prism like colorless single crystals of the title compound used in X-ray diffraction studies were obtained by a slow evaporation of its ehanolic solution at room temperature.
All hydrogen atoms, except for H atoms attached to C8, were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C–H = 0.93 or 0.96 Å and N–H = 0.86 Å. The Uiso(H) values were set at 1.2Ueq(C, N) or 1.5Ueq(C-methyl). The hydrogen atom attached to the central C8 atom was refined freely with the bond length restrained to 0.93 (3) Å. The second hydrogen atom attached to C8 is positioned via the symmetry operator (ii): -x + 1,y,-z + 1/2. The C9-methyl group was treated as orientational disordered in the positions of H atoms. Two sets of methyl hydrogen atoms were refined with equal occupancies of 0.50.
The amide moiety is an important constituent of many biologically important compounds. As a part of studying the substituent effects on the structures of this class of compounds (Gowda et al., 2007; 2009; 2010), the
of N,N-bis(3-methylphenyl)- propanediamide has been determined (I) (Fig. 1).The molecule of (I) is symmetrical around the central carbon atom C8. The two halves of the molecule are related by the symmetry (-x + 1,y,-z + 1/2), which is a twofold rotation axis. The molecular structure is stabilized by the C–H···O intramolecular hydrogen bond in each half of the molecule (Table 1). In the geometry of the molecule, each amide group is almost coplanar with the adjacent phenyl ring, as indicated by the dihedral angle of 9.2 (2)°. The planes of amide groups are inclined at an angle of 68.5 (1)°, while the two phenyl rings make a dihedral angle of 70.40 (3)°. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by intermolecular N–H···O hydrogen bonds into the chains running along the c axis (Fig. 2). The neighboring chains are weakly coupled by π–π stacking interaction between the phenyl ring centroid Cg1 at the position (x,y,z) and the centroid Cg1 at the position (1/2 - x,1/2 - y,-z). The stacking geometry is such that the interplanar distance of the rings is 3.5290 (5) Å, the centroid-centroid distance is 3.7952 (8)Å and the offset is 1.396 (1) Å.

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 amide moiety is an important constituent of many biologically important compounds. As a part of studying the substituent effects on the structures of this class of compounds (Gowda et al., 2007; 2009; 2010), the crystal structure of N,N-bis(3-methylphenyl)- propanediamide has been determined (I) (Fig. 1).
The molecule of (I) is symmetrical around the central carbon atom C8. The two halves of the molecule are related by the symmetry (-x + 1,y,-z + 1/2), which is a twofold rotation axis. The molecular structure is stabilized by the C–H···O intramolecular hydrogen bond in each half of the molecule (Table 1). In the geometry of the molecule, each amide group is almost coplanar with the adjacent phenyl ring, as indicated by the dihedral angle of 9.2 (2)°. The planes of amide groups are inclined at an angle of 68.5 (1)°, while the two phenyl rings make a dihedral angle of 70.40 (3)°. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by intermolecular N–H···O hydrogen bonds into the chains running along the c axis (Fig. 2). The neighboring chains are weakly coupled by π–π stacking interaction between the phenyl ring centroid Cg1 at the position (x,y,z) and the centroid Cg1 at the position (1/2 - x,1/2 - y,-z). The stacking geometry is such that the interplanar distance of the rings is 3.5290 (5) Å, the centroid-centroid distance is 3.7952 (8)Å and the offset is 1.396 (1) Å.
