N-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)benzamide

The conformation of the NH bond in the structure of the title compound (N34DMPBA), C15H15NO, is anti to the meta-methyl substituent in the aniline ring, similar to that observed with respect to the meta-chloro substituent in N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)benzamide (N34DCPBA), but in contrast to the syn conf...

Description
Summary:The conformation of the NH bond in the structure of the title compound (N34DMPBA), C15H15NO, is anti to the meta-methyl substituent in the aniline ring, similar to that observed with respect to the meta-chloro substituent in N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)benzamide (N34DCPBA), but in contrast to the syn conformation observed with respect to the meta-methyl substituent in N-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)acetamide. The bond parameters in N34DMPBA are similar to those in N34DCPBA and other benzanilides. The molecules in N34DMPBA are packed into a column-like structure in the direction of the a axis through N—H...O hydrogen bonds.
