3-Chloro-N-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)-2,2-dimethylpropanamide
Abstract
In the molecular structure of the title compound, C13H18ClNO3, the amide group is nearly perpendicular to the benzene ring, making a dihedral angle of 85.66 (9)°. The C=O bond distance of 1.242 (3) Å and the C—N bond distance of 1.333 (3) Å suggest electron delocalization in the amide fragment. Intermolecular O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonding helps to stabilize the crystal structure.
