Crystal structure, spectral characterisation and thermal study of a novel compound (Z)-3-((2-hydroxypropyl)amino)-N,N-dimethylbut-2-enamide

Abstract

A novel organic compound namely, (Z)-3-((2-hydroxypropyl)amino)-N,N-dimethylbut-2-enamide was synthesised by reacting N, N'-Dimethylacetoacetamide (DMACAC) and 1-Amino-2-propanol. The crystal structure of this compound was determined using single crystal X-ray diffraction method which revealed a planar geometry. Stabilisation of this compound by intramolecular hydrogen bonding is discussed. It was further characterised by TG/DTA, FT-IR, NMR and Mass spectrometry. The compound was found to undergo a single step weight loss giving 1.7% residue at 320oC in a high pure N2 atmosphere and melts in the temperature range of 119-122oC.
