3-Chloro-N-(4-methoxyphenyl)propanamide

Abstract

The title compound, C10H12ClNO2, is a halogenated derivative of a secondary amide bearing an aromatic substituent. The C(=O)—N(H)—Car—Car torsion angle of −33.70 (18)° rules out the presence of resonance spanning the amide as well as the aromatic system. In the crystal, classical N—H...O hydrogen bonds, as well as C–H...O contacts connect the molecules into chains propagating along the a axis.
