In the title compound, C15H14N2O5, the central amide C—C(=O)—N—C unit forms dihedral angles of 28.17 (13) and 26.47 (13)° with the two benzene rings, whereas the two benzene rings are almost coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 4.52 (13)°. The two methoxy and the nitro substituents are almost coplanar with their attached benzene rings, with C—O—C—C torsion angles of −1.3 (4) and −4.6 (4)°, and an O—N—C—C torsion angle of 17.1 (3)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked via C—H⋯O and N—H⋯O interactions, forming a tape running along the b axis.

The title compound was synthesized by using the following procedure. To the stirring solution of 4-methoxy-2-nitroaniline (2.97 mmol) in 6.5 ml dichloromethane, p-methoxybenzoyl chloride (8.12 mmol) and triethylamine (0.5 ml) were added carefully at room temperature. The progress of reaction was checked by TLC and was completed in 12 h. Then the reaction mixture was diluted with water (25 ml) and acidified with 1.0 M HCl (50 ml). The organic compound was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×25 mL) and washed with brine (50 ml). The organic layer was dried (anhyd. MgSO4), filtered and concentrated on rotavapor. The crude mixture was purified by silica gel
by using ethyl acetate and hexane to get title compound with 77% yield. After the pure compound was left overnight. The crystals obtained were found suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. All chemicals were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and Alfa Aesar.The H atom on the nitrogen was located in a difference Fourier maps and refined freely [N—H = 0.80 (3) Å]. Other H atoms were positioned geometrically with 0.93 or 0.96 Å and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C). A rotating group model was applied to the methyl groups.
The formation of amide functionality is a fundamental reaction and of great interest in organic chemistry. Due to a number of application in industrial and pharmaceutical areas as well as an important intermediate in synthetic chemistry, it remains a great challenge for the chemists to develop an efficient method for the synthesis of
The title compound was obtained during our attempt to synthesize libraries of benzamide derivatives under different conditions.The molecule of title compound is not planner. The central amide unit (C6/C7/O2/N1/C8) forms dihedral angles of 28.17 (13) and 26.47 (13)°, respectively, with benzene C1–C6 and C8–C13 rings. The dihedral angle between the two C1–C6 and C8–C13 rings is 4.52 (13)°. The two methoxy and the nitro susbtituents lie nearly in plane of the corresponding aromatic rings with torsion angles C14—O3—C11—C12 of -4.6 (4)°, C15—O1—C3—C2 of -1.3 (4)°, O5—N2—C9—C10 of 17.1 (4)° and O4—N2—C9—C10 of -161.3 (3)°. The bond lengths and angles are similar to those found in the related benzamide derivatives (Sripet et al., 2012; Saeed et al., 2008; Saeed & Flörke, 2009). In the crystal, molecules are linked via intermolecular C—H···O and N—H···O (symmetry codes as in Table 2) interactions to form an infinite tape structure running along the b axis (Fig. 2).

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 formation of amide functionality is a fundamental reaction and of great interest in organic chemistry. Due to a number of application in industrial and pharmaceutical areas as well as an important intermediate in synthetic chemistry, it remains a great challenge for the chemists to develop an efficient method for the synthesis of amides. The title compound was obtained during our attempt to synthesize libraries of benzamide derivatives under different conditions.
The molecule of title compound is not planner. The central amide unit (C6/C7/O2/N1/C8) forms dihedral angles of 28.17 (13) and 26.47 (13)°, respectively, with benzene C1–C6 and C8–C13 rings. The dihedral angle between the two C1–C6 and C8–C13 rings is 4.52 (13)°. The two methoxy and the nitro susbtituents lie nearly in plane of the corresponding aromatic rings with torsion angles C14—O3—C11—C12 of -4.6 (4)°, C15—O1—C3—C2 of -1.3 (4)°, O5—N2—C9—C10 of 17.1 (4)° and O4—N2—C9—C10 of -161.3 (3)°. The bond lengths and angles are similar to those found in the related benzamide derivatives (Sripet et al., 2012; Saeed et al., 2008; Saeed & Flörke, 2009). In the crystal, molecules are linked via intermolecular C—H···O and N—H···O (symmetry codes as in Table 2) interactions to form an infinite tape structure running along the b axis (Fig. 2).
