Abstract:
In the title mol-ecule, C14H13NO2, the dihedral angle between the planes of the benzene rings is 65.18 (4)°. The central amide group has about the same degree of twist with respect to both ring planes, as indicated by the dihedral angles of 34.70 (8) and 30.62 (8)° between its plane and that of the phenyl and 4-meth-oxy-benzene rings, respectively. The C atom of the meth-oxy group is close to being coplanar with its attached ring [deviation = -0.112 (2) Å]. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by inter-amide N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which generate C(4) chains propagating in the [100] direction. Adajcent mol-ecules in the chain are related by translational symmetry.

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...
