(E)-3-(3-Chloro-phen-yl)-N-(4-hy-droxy-3-meth-oxy-benz-yl)acryl-amide

Abstract

In the title compound, C(17)H(16)ClNO(3), the 4-hy-droxy-3-meth-oxy-benzyl group is planar [maximum atomic deviation = 0.0138 (16) Å] and is nearly perpendicular to the chloro-benzene ring, making a dihedral angle of 84.67 (4)°. The chloro-benzene and amide groups are located on the opposite sides of the C=C bond, showing an E configuration. The relatively long C=O bond distance of 1.2364 (19) Å and the short C-N bond distance of 1.341 (2) Å suggest electron delocalization in the amide fragment. Inter-molecular O-H⋯O, N-H⋯O and weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.
