Abstract
The title benzamide was synthesized in two steps by refluxing N-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-nitrobenzamide with thionyl chloride in dry toluene to afford 2,4-dichloro-N-[chloro(2-nitrophenyl]methylene)benzenamine intermediate followed by treatment with 2-methyl benzoic acid in presence of triethyl amine. The structure was confirmed by spectroscopic and elemental analysis. The crystal structure was determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P 21/c with unit cell dimensions a = 10.4122(7), b = 12.9613(7) and c = 15.5518(10) Å. The dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings is 82.32(4)°. The N2 and N3 nitro groups are oriented with respect to their attached phenyl rings at dihedral angles of 1.97(3)° and 15.73(3)°, respectively.Graphical AbstractThe title benzamide was synthesized in two steps from N-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-nitrobenzamide.
