2-Fluoro-N-(4-methoxyphenyl)benzamide
Abstract
In the title compound, C14H12FNO2, the fluorobenzene and methoxybenzene rings are inclined at 27.06 (7) and 23.86 (7)°, respectively, to the amide portion of the molecule and at 3.46 (9)° to one another. The methoxy substituent lies close to the methoxybenzene ring plane, with a maximum deviation of 0.152 (3) Å for the methyl C atom. In the crystal structure, intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds link molecules into rows along a. Weak C—H...O and C—H...F interactions further stabilize the packing, forming corrugated sheets in the bc plane.
