Crystal structure of 2-benzamido-N-(2,2-diethoxyethyl)benzamide

Abstract

In the title compound, C20H24N2O4, both peptide bonds adopt a trans configuration with respect to the —N—H and —C=O groups. The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 53.58 (4)°. The molecular conformation is stabilized by an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond. The crystal packing is characterized by zigzag chains of N—H...O hydrogen-bonded molecules running along the b-axis direction.
