Experimental

Phthalic anhydride (5.00 g, 33.8 mmol) and 4-methoxyaniline (4.99 g, 40.5 mmol) were heated in acetic acid (15 ml) for 4 h. The mixture was cooled and then poured into water. The solid that separated was collected and recrystallized from ethanol in 90% yield.

Refinement

H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.95 or 0.98 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2 Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl).
