%0 Journal Article %T Synthesis, characterization and crystal structure of ethyl 4-(3-chloro benzamido)benzoate %A Aamer Saeed %A Hummera Rafique %A Ulrich Fl£¿rke %J European Journal of Chemistry %D 2010 %I %R 10.5155/eurjchem.1.4.289-290.207 %X The title compound was efficiently synthesized in two steps starting from esterification of 4-aminobenzoic acid followed by amidation with 3-chlorobenzoyl chloride in dry tetrahydrofuran. The structure was confirmed by spectroscopic data and elemental analysis. The molecular structure was determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data. It crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with Z = 2 and unit cell dimensions a = 5.2941(15) , b = 8.157(2) , c = 16.238(4) , ¦Á = 82.682(6)¡ã, ¦Â = 84.481(6)¡ã, ¦Ã = 80.100(6)¡ã and V = 683.2(3) 3. %K Ethyl 4-(3-chlorobenzamido)benzoate %K Crystal structure %K Synthesis %K Characterization %U http://www.eurjchem.com/index.php/eurjchem/article/view/207
