Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C15H15NO2, contains two independent mol-ecules (A and B). The di-methyl-phenyl ring, the phenyl ring and the central carbamate N-C(=O)-O group are not coplanar. In mol-ecule A, the di-methyl-phenyl and phenyl rings are inclined to the carbamate group mean plane by 27.71 (13) and 71.70 (4)°, respectively, and to one another by 84.53 (13)°. The corresponding dihedral angles in mol-ecule B are 34.33 (11), 66.32 (13) and 85.48 (12)°, respectively. In the crystal, the A and B mol-ecules are arranged alternately linked through N-H⋯O(carbon-yl) hydrogen bonds, forming -A-B-A-B- chains, which extend along [100]. Within the chains and linking neighbouring chains there are C-H⋯π inter-actions present, forming columns along the a-axis direction. The columns are linked by offset π-π stacking inter-actions, forming a three-dimensional network [shortest centroid-centroid distance = 3.606 (1) Å].

Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
Radicals: Electronic Structure and Geometry
Accordingly, the structure of a trivalent radical lies between the geometries of carbocations and carbanions. An sp2-hybridized carbocation is trigonal planar, while an sp3-hybridized carbanion is trigonal pyramidal. Here, the difference in geometry is...

IUPAC Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acids
For acyclic saturated monocarboxylic acids, the longest hydrocarbon chain containing the –COOH carbon is identified as the parent chain. Then, the last -e of the parent hydrocarbon name is replaced with a suffix -oic acid.
