N-(2-Fluoro-phen-yl)cinnamamide.

The title compound, C(15)H(12)FNO, was prepared by the reaction of cinnamoyl chloride with 4-fluoro-aniline and crystallizes with two mol-ecules A and B in the asymmetric unit. The two unique mol-ecules are closely similar and overlay with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0819 Å. The fluoro-benzene and phenyl rings are inclined to one another at 73.89 (7) and 79.46 (7)°, respectively, in mol-ecules A and B. The amide C-N-C(O)-C portions of the mol-ecules are planar (r.m.s. deviations = 0.035 and 0.028 Å) and are inclined at 45.51 (9) and 47.71 (9), respectively, to the fluoro-benzene rings in mol-ecules A and B. The 2-fluoro-acetamide units and the benzene rings each adopt E configurations with respect to the C=C bonds. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds augmented by weak C-H⋯π inter-actions link mol-ecules into rows in a head-to-tail fashion along a. Additional weak C-H⋯O contacts further stabilize the packing, forming a three-dimensional network stacked down a.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
