Abstract

The title compound, C17H19NO4, which is a non-toxic insect growth regulator with the common name fenoxycarb, contains two independent and conformationally different mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. Although the inter-ring dihedral angles are similar [62.21 (15) and 63.00 (14)°], the side-chain orientations differ. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are linked through N—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding associations, giving chains which extend along [110], while intra- and inter­molecular aromatic C—H⋯π inter­actions give sheet structures parallel to [110].

Highlights

  • The title compound, C17H19NO4, which is a non-toxic insect growth regulator with the common name fenoxycarb, contains two independent and conformationally different molecules in the asymmetric unit

  • The molecules are linked through N—H O hydrogen-bonding associations, giving chains which extend along [110], while intra- and intermolecular aromatic C—H interactions give sheet structures parallel to [110]

  • The onedimensional chains are built into two-dimensional sheets by further C—H···π contacts involving H19···Cg1, H22···Cg1, H2···Cg3 and H5···Cg3 are 2.92, 2.84, 2.85 and 2.85 Å respectively (Fig. 4)
