N-Butyl-4-chlorobenzamide

Abstract

In the title benzamide derivative, C11H14ClNO, the chlorobenzene and butylamine groups are each planar, with mean deviations from the planes of 0.013 and 0.030 Å, respectively, and a dihedral angle of 2.54 (9)° between the two planes. In the crystal structure, N—H...O hydrogen bonds link molecules in rows along a. Short intermolecular Cl...Cl interactions [3.4225 (5) Å] link these rows into sheets in the ac plane. Additional weak C—H...O and C—H...π interactions generate a three-dimensional network.
