4-Chloro-N-(3-methoxy-phen-yl)-benz-amide
Abstract:
The title benzamide derivative, C(14)H(12)ClNO(2), crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. Both are close to being planar, with dihedral angles between the two benzene rings of 11.92 (6) and 12.80 (7)°. In the crystal structure, N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link mol-ecules into chains along a. These inter-actions are augmented by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form two-dimensional layers in the ac plane. Additional C-H⋯O inter-actions result in a three-dimensional network consisting of undulating rows along c. The crystal studied was an inversion twin with a 0.59 (3):0.41 (3) domain ratio.

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
