Crystal structure of N-(diphenylphosphoryl)-2-methoxybenzamide

Abstract

In the title compound, C20H18NO3P, the C=O and P=O groups of the carbacylamidophosphate (CAPh) fragments are located in a synclinal position relative to each other and are pre-organized for bidentate chelate coordination of metal ions. The N—H group is involved in the formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bond. In the crystal, molecules do not form strong intermolecular interactions but the molecules are linked via weak C—H...π interactions, forming chains along [001].
