N-(2,6-Diisopropylphenyl)formamide

Abstract

The title compound, C13H19NO, exhibits a non-planar structure in which the 2,6-diisopropylphenyl ring is tilted at a dihedral angle of 77.4 (1)° with respect to the formamide group. This is the largest dihedral angle known among structurally characterized formamides. The molecules are linked via N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming infinite chains which run along the b-axis directions.
