Crystal structure of 2-methyl cinnamanilide and 2-methoxy cinnamanilide

摘要

The crystal structures of two cinnamanilide derivatives 2-methyl cinnamanilide (C-16 H-15 N O - compound 1) and 2-methoxy cinnamanilide (C-16 H-15 N O-2 - compound 11) are reported. In both crystal structures, the cinnamamide group is almost planar. The inter-planar angle between the two phenyl rings are 71.6(1)degrees for compound I and 7.5(1)degrees for compound II. The N-H...O and C-H...O type of hydrogen bond interactions between the amide group and the carbonyl group stabilizes the molecular packing as chains in the crystal lattice. [References: 20]
