Crystal structure of 2,3-dimethoxy-N-(4-nitrophenyl)benzamide

Abstract

In the title compound, C15H14N2O5, the benzene rings are nearly coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 4.89 (8)degrees. An intramolecular N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bond occurs between the imino and methoxy groups. In the crystal, weak C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into supramolecular chains propagating along the a-axis direction. pi-pi stacking is observed between parallel benzene rings of neighbouring chains, the centroid-to-centroid distance being 3.6491 (10) angstrom. Three-dimensional Hirshfeld surface analyses and two-dimensional fingerprint plots have been used to analyse the intermolecular interactions present in the crystal.
