Title: N -(4-Methoxy-2-methyl-5-nitrophenyl)acetamide
In the title compound, C10H12N2O4, the four substituents lie out of the phenyl plane by varying degrees. The methyl C atom lies 0.019 (3) A ˚ out of plane, while the methoxy O and C atoms lie 0.067 (2) and 0.042 (3) A ˚ out of plane, respectively, with the C—C—O—C torsion angle being 3.3 (2). The plane of the nitro group is twisted out of the phenyl plane, forming a dihedral angle of 12.03 (9) with it. The acetamide substituent is twisted considerably more out of the phenyl plane, forming a dihedral angle of 47.24 (6) with it. In the extended structure, the acetamide NH group donates a hydrogen bond to an acetamide carbonyl O atom, thereby forming chains propagating in the [010] direction.  more » « less

  1. In the title compound, C8H8ClNO2, the acetamide substituent is twisted out of the phenyl plane, forming a dihedral angle of 58.61 (7)°. In the extended structure, each molecule donates two hydrogen bonds [N—H...O(carbonyl) and O—H...O(carbonyl)] and thus also accepts two such hydrogen bonds. The chlorine atom is not involved in the hydrogen bonding.

  2. In the title compound, C16H16N2O3, the phenyl groups are twisted away from coplanarity with the ether linkage, forming a dihedral angle of 59.49 (4) with each other. The ether oxygen atom lies somewhat out of both phenyl planes, by 0.066 (2) and 0.097 (2) A ˚ . The acetamide substituents have quite different conformations with respect to the phenyl groups on either side of the molecule. On one side, the C—C—N—C torsion angle is 21.0 (2), while on the other side it is 76.4 (2). In the crystal, the acetamide N—H groups form intermolecular N—H O hydrogen bonds to acetamide O atom, with both NH groups donating to the same molecule. Thus, ladder-like chains exist in the [101] direction. One of the methyl groups has its H atoms disordered into two orientations, and the crystal chosen for data collection was found to be twinned.

  3. In the title compound, C 12 H 13 NO 2 , the five-membered ring has an envelope conformation; the disubstituted C atom lies out of the mean plane through the four other ring atoms (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0038 Å) by 0.1877 (18) Å. The plane of the phenyl substituent is practically perpendicular to that of the planar part of the five-membered ring, with a dihedral angle of 87.01 (5)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers. The dimers are linked by further C—H...O hydrogen bonds, as well as carbonyl–carbonyl attractive interactions [O...C = 3.2879 (19) Å], forming a three-dimensional framework structure.

  4. N -(5-Cyanononan-5-yl)benzamide, C 17 H 24 N 2 O, synthesized from the reaction between benzoyl chloride and 2-amino-2-butylhexanenitrile, is an important intermediate in amino acid synthesis. Intermolecular N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds with N...O and C...O distances of 3.083 (2) and 3.304 (2) Å, respectively, link adjacent molecules into chains along the a axis. The dihedral angle between the mean plane of the phenyl group and the plane of the amide group is 19.504 (4)°.

  5. Two bis-carbamoylmethylphosphine oxide compounds, namely {[(3-{[2-(diphenylphosphinoyl)ethanamido]methyl}benzyl)carbamoyl]methyl}diphenylphosphine oxide, C 36 H 34 N 2 O 4 P 2 , (I), and diethyl [({2-[2-(diethoxyphosphinoyl)ethanamido]ethyl}carbamoyl)methyl]phosphonate, C 14 H 30 N 2 O 8 P 2 , (II), were synthesized via nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions between an ester and a primary amine. Hydrogen-bonding interactions are present in both crystals, but these interactions are intramolecular in the case of compound (I) and intermolecular in compound (II). Intramolecular π–π stacking interactions are also present in the crystal of compound (I) with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.9479 (12) Å and a dihedral angle of 9.56 (12)°. Intermolecular C—H...π interactions [C...centroid distance of 3.622 (2) Å, C—H...centroid angle of 146°] give rise to supramolecular sheets that lie in the ab plane. Key geometric features for compound (I) involve a nearly planar, trans- amide group with a C—N—C—C torsion angle of 169.12 (17)°, and a torsion angle of −108.39 (15)° between the phosphine oxide phosphorus atom and the amide nitrogen atom. For compound (II), the electron density corresponding to the phosphoryl group was disordered, and was modeled as two parts with a 0.7387 (19):0.2613 (19) occupancy ratio. Compound (II) also boasts a trans -amide group that approaches planarity with a C—N—C—C torsion angle of −176.50 (16)°. The hydrogen bonds in this structure are intermolecular, with a D ... A distance of 2.883 (2) Å and a D —H... A angle of 175.0 (18)° between the amide hydrogen atom and the P=O oxygen atom. These non-covalent interactions create ribbons that run along the b -axis direction.
