In the title compound, C16H16BrNO, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 69.8 (2)°. In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into C(4) chains propagating in [100]. Adjacent mol­ecules in the chains are also linked by C—H⋯O inter­actions which, along with the N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generate R21(6) loops.

Comment top

In continuation of our work on synthesis of amides (Fun et al., 2011a, 2011b, 2012a, 2012b), we report herein the crystal structure of the title compound.

In the title molecule (Fig. 1), the two benzene rings (C1-C6 and C9-C14) make a dihedral angle of 69.8 (2)°. Bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges and are comparable to related structures (Fun et al., 2011a, 2011b, 2012a, 2012b).

In the crystal structure, Fig. 2, molecules are linked via N1–H1N1···O1 and C7–H7B···O1 hydrogen bonds (Table 1) into one-dimensional [100] chains which contain R21 (6) ring motifs (Bernstein et al., 1995).

Experimental top

4-Bromophenylacetic acid (0.213 g, 1 mmol), 2,6-Dimethylaniline (0.1 ml, 1 mmol) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide hydrochloride (1.0 g, 0.01 mol) were dissolved in dichloromethane (20 ml). The mixture was stirred in presence of triethylamine at 273 K for about 3 h. The contents were poured into 100 ml of ice-cold aqueous hydrochloric acid with stirring. The resulting solution was extracted thrice with dichloromethane. The organic layer was washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution and brine solution, dried and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (I). Colourless plates were grown from a methanol and N,N-dimethylformamide (1:1) solvent mixture by the slow evaporation method (m.p.:479-481 K).

Refinement top

Atom H1N1 was located in a difference Fourier map and refined freely [N–H = 0.91 (4) Å]. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C–H = 0.93-0.97 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5 Ueq(C). A rotating-group model was applied for the methyl groups.

Special details top

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.
