In silico analysis predicted spasmolytic activity for the compound. Based on the in silico calculations, the importance of the predicted ketoamide, and our previous experiments, we synthesized the ketoamide via ortho-acylation of N-[1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)propan-2-yl]benzamide with acetic anhydride in polyphosphoric acid. We applied the title ketoamide in reaction with Cu(II) varying the solvents. We found that the reaction leads to the formation of a coordination compound when the ligand dissolved in DMSO reacts with a water solution of CuCl2 in an alkaline environment in a molar ratio M : L : OH– = 1 : 2 : 2. The structures of the new compounds are discussed based on their melting points, IR, 1H, 13C NMR and Raman spectral data.enSynthesis of N-[1-(2-Acetyl-4,5-dimethoxyphenyl)propan-2-yl]benzamide and Its Copper(II) ComplexArticle
