(Received 5 December 2010; accepted 7 December 2010; online 11 December 2010)

In the title compound, C16H14N2O2, the conformations of the N—H and C=O bonds in the C—NH—CO—CH =CH—CO—NH—C segment are anti to each other. The two C=O bonds are also anti to each other. The two phenyl rings make an inter­planar angle of 41.2 (1)°. An intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal, inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding links the mol­ecules into infinite chains along the a axis.

Comment top

The amide moiety is an important constituent of many biologically significant compounds. As a part of studying the effect of substitutions on the structures of this class of compounds (Gowda, Foro et al., 2010; Gowda, Tokarčík et al., 2010), the crystal structure of N,N-bis(phenyl)-maleamide has been determined (I) (Fig. 1).

In the structure, the conformations of N—H and C=O bonds in both the amide groups of the C—NH—CO—CH CH—CO—NH—C segment are anti to each other. The two C=O bonds are also anti to each other, while one of them is syn to the adjacent C—H bond and the other is anti to its adjacent C—H bond. Further, C1—N1—C7—C8 and C11—N2—C10—C9 segments are nearly linear and so also the C1—N1—C7—O1 and C11—N2—C10—O2 segments. The torsion angles of C2—C1—N1—C7 and C6—C1—N1—C7 are 174.4 (3)° and -4.9 (4)°, respectively, while those of C12—C11—N2—C10 and C16—C11—N2—C10 are 40.4 (4)° and -143.9 (3)°.

The two phenyl rings in (I) make an interplanar angle of 41.2 (1)°. while the two benzene rings (C1 to C6 and C11 to C16) make the dihedral angles of 8.0 (1)° and 38.3 (1)°, respectively, with the central amide group (N1—C7—C8—C9—C10—N2).

The crystal structure (Fig. 2) exhibits both the intramolecular and intermolecular N–H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1). The latter link the molecules into chains.

Experimental top

A mixture of maleic acid (0.2 mol) and phosphorous oxy chloride (0.3 mol) were refluxed for 3 hrs on a water bath at 95° C. The aniline was added dropwise with stirring and continuing heating for about 30 min. It was later kept aside for 12 hrs for completion of the reaction. The reaction mixture was then added to ice. The precipitated product was washed with water, dilute HCl, dilute NaOH and again with water. The product was filtered, dried and recrystallized from DMF.

Prism like orange single crystals of the title compound used in X-ray diffraction studies were obtained by a slow evaporation of its DMF solution at room temperature.

Refinement top

The H atoms of the NH groups were located in a difference map and later restrained to the distance N—H = 0.86 (2) Å. The other H atoms were positioned with idealized geometry using a riding model with C—H = 0.93 Å A l l H atoms were refined with isotropic displacement parameters (set to 1.2 times of the Ueq of the parent atom).

In the absence of significant anomalous dispersion effects, Friedel pairs were merged and the Δf"term set to zero.

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
