N-[4-(Morpholinodiazen-yl)phen-yl]acetamide.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C(12)H(16)N(4)O(2), is a member of a family of morpholine-substituted aromatic diazenes. Conjugation of the diazene group π-system and the lone pair of electrons of the morpholine N atom is evidenced by a lengthened N=N double bond of 1.2707 (19) Å and a shortened N-N single bond of 1.346 (2) Å. The bond angles at the morpholine N atom range from 113.52 (14) to 121.12 (14)°, indicating some degree of sp(2) hybridization. The morpholine ring adopts a conventional chair conformation with the diazenyl group in the equatorial position. The diazenyl and acetamido groups are both twisted relative to the plane of the benzene ring by 12.3 (2) and 25.5 (3)°, respectively.
