“…Despite the enormous pharmacological [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 15 , 16 , 17 ] and chemical [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ] interest in the N -unsubstituted 2-aminobenzamides, to our knowledge, the presence of intramolecular hydrogen bonding in these compounds has been less demonstrated in the literature [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. This prompted us to study the structural properties of the known 5-bromo/iodo- and 3,5-dihalogenated 2-aminobezamides by means of spectroscopic (NMR, UV-Vis, IR, Raman) methods and single X-ray crystallography in combination with density functional theory methods.…”
