N-tert-Butyl-3-mesitylpropanamide

Abstract

In the title compound, C₁₆H₂₅NO, the N-tert-butyl­propanamide fragment is essentially planar, with the exception of two C atoms of the tert-butyl group (r.m.s. deviation = 0.005 Å), forming a dihedral angle of 84.09 (10)° with the plane of the mesityl fragment (r.m.s. deviation = 0.002 Å). The crystal packing is stabilized by an inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond, which links the mol­ecules into chains with graph-set notation C(4) running parallel to the c axis.

Comment

Fig. 1 shows the structure of title compound. Bond lengths and angles are unexceptional. The dihedral angle between the mesityl fragment and the C7/C6/C5/O1/N1/C4/C3 plane is 84.09 (10)°. Methyl groups of the benzene ring are into the same plane (r.m.s. deviation = 0.002 Å). In the crystal, molecules are linked by N— H···O interactions into chains with graph-set notation C(4) along [001], Figure 2, Table 1 (Bernstein et al., 1995).

Experimental

A mixture of 0.001 mol of 1-chloro-3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)propan-2-one and 0.001 mol of tert-butylamine was stirred in water in presence of sodium hydroxide (0.003 mol) for 35–40 minutes. The crystals were recrystallized from ethanol solution (Yield 86%, melting point 143°C).¹H NMRspectrum, DMSO-d₆, δ, p.p.m..: 1.25 (s, 9H, 3CH₃), 2.15 (s, 2H, CH₂CO),2.25 (s, 9H, 3CH₃), 2.75 (t, 2H, CH₂Ar), 6.75 (s, 2H, 2CH_Ar),7.45 (s, 1H, NHCO). ¹³C NMR spectrum, DMSO-d₆, δ, p.p.m..: 19 (2CH₃), 21 (CH₃), 23(CH₂CO), 25 [(CH₃)₃], 37 (CH₂Ar),50 (C_i), 129 (CH_Ar), 136 (C_i), 137 (C_i),162 (CONH). IR spectrum, ν (cm^-1)_: 3360,3170, 3005, 2928, 2878, 1645,1615, 1470, 1430, 715, 605.

Refinement

All H-atoms were placed in calculated positions [C—H = 0.93 to 0.97 Å, U_iso(H) =1.2 to 1.5 U_eq(C) and N—H = 0.83 Å, U_iso(H)=1.5 U_eq(N)] and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation. Due to weak diffracting ability of the crystal the ratio observed/unique reflections is low (45%).

Special details

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
