A versatile approach for the synthesis of N-(4-methylbenzyl)benzamide, C15H15NO, using CuI as catalyst has been reported. Single crystals of the synthesized compound were grown using the slow evaporation solution technique. The crystal structure of the N-(4-methylbenzyl)benzamide crystals has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in an orthorhombic lattice, noncentrosymmetric space group Pna21. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular N-H?O hydrogen bonds and weak C-H?π interactions to form layers parallel to the a axis. A user-friendly approach based on centre of mass propagation vector theory was used to predict the crystal morphology. The framework developed here utilizes the concept of intermolecular bond strength to discern the crystal morphology. Fourier transform IR, NMR and high-resolution mass spectrometry analytical techniques were used for the identification of functional groups and confirmation of the structure of the title compound. All of the intermolecular interactions present in the crystal structure, including the C-H?π, C-H?O and N-H?O interactions, were investigated and confirmed by molecular Hirshfeld surface analysis. From linear optical spectroscopy, the transmittance, optical band gap and UV cutoff wavelength were determined. The photoluminescence emission spectrum was recorded for a grown crystal. Dielectric measurements were performed at room temperature for various frequencies. The mechanical strength of the (001) plane of the title compound was measured using the Vickers micro-hardness technique. A piezo-coefficient of 15pCN-1 was found along the (001) plane of the title crystals. The thermal stability and melting point were also investigated. In addition, density functional theory simulations were used to calculate the optimized molecular geometry and the UV-vis spectrum, and to determine the highest occupied molecular orbital/lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy gap. The results show that N-(4-methylbenzyl)benzamide is a potential candidate for multifunctional optical and piezoelectric crystals.

A mild, efficient electrochemical approach to the site-selective direct C-H amidation of benzene and its derivatives with acetonitrile and benzonitrile has been developed. It has been shown that joint electrochemical oxidation of various arenes in the presence of a copper salt as a catalyst and nitriles leads to the formation of N-phenylacetamide from benzene and N-benzylacetamides from benzyl derivatives (up to 78% yield). A favorable feature of the process is mild conditions (room temperature, ambient pressure, no strong oxidants) that meet the criteria of green chemistry.
Dehydrogenative amide synthesis from alcohols and amines utilizing N-heterocyclic carbene-based ruthenium complexes as efficient catalysts: The influence of catalyst loadings, ancillary and added ligands

The metal-catalyzed dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols and amines to access amides has been recognized as an atom-economic and environmental-friendly process. Apart from the formation of the amide products, three other kinds of compounds (esters, imines and amines) may also be produced. Therefore, it is of vital importance to investigate product distribution in this transformation. Herein, N-heterocyclic carbene-based Ru (NHC/Ru) complexes [Ru-1]-[Ru-5] with different ancillary ligands were prepared and characterized. Based on these complexes, we selected condition A (without an added NHC precursor) and condition B (with an added NHC precursor) to comprehensively explore the selectivity and yield of the desired amides. After careful evaluation of various parameters, the Ru loadings, added NHC precursors and the electronic/steric properties of ancillary NHC ligands were found to have considerable influence on this catalytic process.
