(Received 10 July 2012; accepted 12 July 2012; online 18 July 2012)

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C₁₄H₁₂N₂O₄, contains two molecules that differ principally in the orientation of the acetamide substituent to the adjacent benzene ring with dihedral angles of 44.77 (7) and 19.06 (7)°. The dihedral angles between the benzene rings are 64.46 (4) and 80.84 (4)°. In the crystal, classical N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds form C(4) chains along [100]. These chains are interlinked by C—H⋯O contacts forming R₂²(10) rings. In the crystal, π–π interactions are observed with a distance of 3.5976 (18) Å between the centroids of the nitro-substituted benzene rings of one type of molecule.

Comment top

The crystal structures of N-(4-(4-nitrophenoxy)phenyl)propionamide (Nigar et al. 2008) has been published and is related to that of (I), (Fig. 1).

In (I), two molecules (M1 and M2) are present in the asymmetric unit, which differ slightly from each other geometrically. In molecule M1, the acetamide group A (C1/C2/N1/O1), benzene ring B (C3—C8) and group C (O2/C9—C14/N2/O3/O4) of the 4-nitrophenol are almost planar with r.m.s. deviations of 0.0035 Å, 0.0109 Å and 0.0540 Å, respectively. The dihedral angles between A/B, A/C and B/C are 44.77 (7)°, 77.53 (7)° and 64.46 (4)°, respectively. In the second molecule M2, the comparable groups D (C15/C16/N3/O5), E (C17—C22) and F (O6/C23—C28/N4/O7/O8) are again almost planar with r.m.s. deviations of 0.0062 Å, 0.0031 Å and 0.0137 Å, respectively. The dihedral angles between D/E, D/F and E/F are 19.06 (7)°, 80.26 (5)° and 80.84 (4)°, respectively. Both molecules are interlinked forming C (4) chains (Bernstein et al., 1995) due to classical N—H···O H–bonds (Table 1, Fig. 2). These infinite one-dimensional chains form along [100] and are further interlinked through C–H···O contacts forming R₂²(10) rings (Table 1, Fig. 2). A π–π interaction is also present, Cg1···Cg1ⁱ [i = 1 - x, 1 - y, - z] at a distance of 3.8814 (10) Å, where Cg1 is the centroid of the (C23—C28) benzene ring .

Experimental top

In the first step 4-(4-nitrophenoxy)aniline was prepared from a mixture of 4-aminophenol (5.046 g, 50 mmol), 4-nitrofluorobenzene (5.3 ml, 50 mmol) and anhydrous K₂CO₃ (6.91 g, 50 mmol) in 70 ml dimethylformamide (DMF) by heating and stirring at 373 K for 18 h in an inert atmosphere. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was poured into 800 ml of water to yield a yellow solid. The product was filtered, dried, and then recrystallized from n-hexane (86% yield).

In the second step, acetylchloride was reacted with 4-(4-nitrophenoxy)aniline, in appropriate molar ratios in tetrahydrofuran with 1 ml of triethylamine for 1.0 g of 4-(4-nitrophenoxy)aniline. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 2 h under inert conditions and allowed to stand overnight at room temperature. The settled salt was filtered off and filterate was evaporated to get the crude product, which was recrystallized from toluene (92% yield, m.p. 428 K).

Special details top

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles

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.
