Abstract
In the structure of the title compound, C13H9Cl2NO, the conformation of the N—H bond is syn to the chloro substituents on the aniline benzene ring, similar to that observed in N-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)acetamide, but in contrast to the anti conformation observed with respect to the ortho-Cl substituent in N-(2-chlorophenyl)benzamide. The structure closely resembles the structures of 2-chloro-N-phenylbenzamide, N-(2-chlorophenyl)benzamide and N-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)acetamide. The molecules are linked into a chain through an N—H⋯O hydrogen bond.
