In the title compound, C15H11NO3, the two essentially planar benzaldehyde groups [maximum deviations = 0.0487 (12) and 0.0205 (10) Å] are inclined at a dihedral angle of 72.64 (6)° with respect to each other. The bridging C—C—N—C torsion angle is 22.58 (18)°. In the crystal, intermolecular bifurcated acceptor N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link inversion-related molecules into dimers incorporating R12(7) and R22(8) ring motifs. The is further stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H⋯π interactions.

The title compound was obtained in the photoreaction of 2,5-diphenyloxazole in visible light. The compound was purified by flash
Good quality single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained from slow evaporation of a 1:1 solution of acetone and petroleum ether.Atom H1N1 was located in a difference Fourier map and allowed to refine freely [N1—H1N1 = 0.879 (16) Å]. The remaining H atoms were placed in calculated positions, with C—H = 0.93 Å, and refined using a riding-model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C).
Benzamides have been reported to correlate with many pharmacology processes such as anti-emetic, anti-psychotic and anti-arrythmic activities. Various N-substituted derivatives of benzamide are reported to possess anti-convulsant activity (Magarl et al., 2010). Recently, Haffner & Ulrich (2010) reported that some N-substituted derivatives of benzamide can block the Kv1.3 ion channel. Moreover, N-substituted benzamides have been scanned for anti-microbial and anti-oxidant activities (Lavanya & Rao, 2010). The crystal structures of N-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)benzamide (Jotani et al., 2010), N-phenyl-N-(phenylthioxomethyl)benzamide (Fu et al., 1998) and 2-fluoro-N-(2-fluorobenzoyl)-N-(2-pyridyl)benzamide (Gallagher et al., 2009) have been reported. The title compound which contains the N-substituted benzamide has a potential use in biochemical and pharmaceutical fields. Due to the importance of the N-substituted benzamide derivatives, we report here the
of the title compound.In the title compound (Fig. 1), the two benzaldehyde moieties (C1-C7/O1 and C9-C15/O3) are essentially planar, with maximum deviations of -0.0483 (12) Å at atom C7 and -0.0205 (10) Å at atom O3, respectively. The whole molecule is not planar, as indicated by the C7–C8–N1–C9 torsion angle of 22.58 (18)° and the dihedral angle formed between the two benzaldehyde moieties of 72.64 (6)°. The diketonic C7—C8 bond length [1.5401 (16) Å] is observed to be longer than expected value for a hybridized Csp2—Csp2 bond (Allen et al., 1987), and is consistent to those observed in related diketone structures (Cheah et al., 2008; Hartung et al., 2004). All other geometrical parameters are comparable to those related N-substituted benzamide structures (Jotani et al., 2010; Fu et al., 1998; Gallagher et al., 2009).
In the
intermolecular bifurcated acceptor N1—H1N1···O2i and C11—H11A···O2i hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link inversion-related molecules into hydrogen-bonded dimers incorporating R21(7) and R22(8) ring motifs (Fig. 2, Bernstein et al., 1995). Further stabilization of the is provided by weak intermolecular C14—H14A···Cg1ii interactions (Table 1) involving the centroid of the C1-C6 benzene ring.For general background to and applications of the title benzamide compound, see: Haffner & Ulrich (2010); Lavanya & Rao (2010); Magarl et al.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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. |

Benzamides have been reported to correlate with many pharmacology processes such as anti-emetic, anti-psychotic and anti-arrythmic activities. Various N-substituted derivatives of benzamide are reported to possess anti-convulsant activity (Magarl et al., 2010). Recently, Haffner & Ulrich (2010) reported that some N-substituted derivatives of benzamide can block the Kv1.3 ion channel. Moreover, N-substituted benzamides have been scanned for anti-microbial and anti-oxidant activities (Lavanya & Rao, 2010). The crystal structures of N-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)benzamide (Jotani et al., 2010), N-phenyl-N-(phenylthioxomethyl)benzamide (Fu et al., 1998) and 2-fluoro-N-(2-fluorobenzoyl)-N-(2-pyridyl)benzamide (Gallagher et al., 2009) have been reported. The title compound which contains the N-substituted benzamide has a potential use in biochemical and pharmaceutical fields. Due to the importance of the N-substituted benzamide derivatives, we report here the crystal structure of the title compound.
In the title compound (Fig. 1), the two benzaldehyde moieties (C1-C7/O1 and C9-C15/O3) are essentially planar, with maximum deviations of -0.0483 (12) Å at atom C7 and -0.0205 (10) Å at atom O3, respectively. The whole molecule is not planar, as indicated by the C7–C8–N1–C9 torsion angle of 22.58 (18)° and the dihedral angle formed between the two benzaldehyde moieties of 72.64 (6)°. The diketonic C7—C8 bond length [1.5401 (16) Å] is observed to be longer than expected value for a hybridized Csp2—Csp2 bond (Allen et al., 1987), and is consistent to those observed in related diketone structures (Cheah et al., 2008; Hartung et al., 2004). All other geometrical parameters are comparable to those related N-substituted benzamide structures (Jotani et al., 2010; Fu et al., 1998; Gallagher et al., 2009).
In the crystal structure, intermolecular bifurcated acceptor N1—H1N1···O2i and C11—H11A···O2i hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link inversion-related molecules into hydrogen-bonded dimers incorporating R21(7) and R22(8) ring motifs (Fig. 2, Bernstein et al., 1995). Further stabilization of the crystal structure is provided by weak intermolecular C14—H14A···Cg1ii interactions (Table 1) involving the centroid of the C1-C6 benzene ring.
