Abstract

The cocrystal formed by diethyl N,Ń-[1,3-(2-methyl)phenyl]dioxalamate (1) and resorcinol (2), namely 1·2cryst (C21H24N2O8) was prepared by mechanochemical complexation. IR spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction studies allowed to determine the complexation and the conformational switching of the ethyl oxalamate side arms. In the crystal structure of 1·2cryst, complexation occurs through O-H···O=C hydrogen-bonding interactions with the participation of phenolic O-H as donor and amide carbonyl group as acceptor. The steric hindrance of the CH3 group in the C-2 position of the aromatic ring leads to a meso-helical supramolecular architecture forming a C22 (16) chain motif. Crystal data: monoclinic, C2/c space group, a = 34.9054(13) Å, b = 8.0434(5) Å, c = 5.1577(8) Å, β = 97.521(3)°. Graphical Abstract: The cocrystal formed by diethyl N,N'-[1,3-(2-methyl)phenyl]dioxalamate and resorcinol, prepared by mechanochemical complexation.
