This study details the crystal structure of a novel organic compound, C(13)H(17)NO. It reveals a specific dihedral angle and intramolecular hydrogen bonding, influencing crystal packing.
Area of Science:
- Organic Chemistry
- Crystallography
- Molecular Structure
Background:
- Understanding molecular interactions is crucial in organic chemistry.
- Crystal structure analysis provides insights into intermolecular forces.
Purpose of the Study:
- To elucidate the crystal structure of the compound C(13)H(17)NO.
- To investigate the dihedral angle and hydrogen bonding characteristics.
Main Methods:
- Single-crystal X-ray diffraction was employed.
- Analysis of bond lengths, angles, and intermolecular interactions.
Main Results:
- The dihedral angle between the aryl ring and the amino-acryl-aldehyde plane was determined to be 53.43(4)°.
- An intramolecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond was identified.
- Intermolecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds form chains along the [001] direction.
Conclusions:
- The crystal structure of C(13)H(17)NO is characterized by specific conformational and hydrogen bonding features.
- These interactions dictate the observed crystal packing and molecular arrangement.

Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Amides and Nitriles
The IUPAC and common names of amides are derived from the parent carboxylic acid, by replacing the suffix “oic acid” and “ic acid,” respectively, with “amide.” In the following example, the IUPAC name ethanamide is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetamide, is obtained from acetic acid.
