Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 1,4-bis{[(2'-Thenylaminoformyl)phenoxyl]methyl}benzene

Abstract

A novel salicylamide derivative i.e., 1,4-bis{[(2'-thenylaminoformyl)phenoxyl]methyl}benzene with the m.f. C₃₂H₂₈N₂O₄S₂ has been synthesized and the crystal structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. There are strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the amide nitrogen atoms and the ethereal oxygen atoms which stabilized the structure to form a trans configuration. Furthermore the title compound are linked by intermolecular C9-H9…O1 hydrogen bonds into an infinite 1D chain parallel to the bc plane .
