Mk. Urtiaga et al., THE EFFECT OF SUBSTITUENTS ON THE CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF BETA-AMINO ALCOHOLS - 3,4-DIMETHOXYBENZYL)(METHYL)AMINO]-2-PHENYLETHANOL, Acta crystallographica. Section C, Crystal structure communications, 51, 1995, pp. 1175-1177
The crystal structure of ,4-dimethoxybenzyl)(methyl)amino]-2-phenyleth
anol, C18H23NO3, (I), has been determined. The influence of the type a
nd size of the groups bonded to the N atom in the crystal structure of
(I) was studied and compared with the influence of such groups on the
crystal structure of ybenzyl)(p-toluenesulfonyl)amino]-2-phenylethano
l, (II). The N atom of compound (I) shows sp(3) character and is syncl
inal to the OH group, while the N atom of compound (II) shows sp(2) ch
aracter and is antiperiplanar to the OH group.
