2,2-Dichloro-N-(3,5-dimethylphenyl)acetamide
Abstract
The structure of the title compound, C10H11Cl2NO, resembles those of 2,2-dichloro-N-phenylacetamide, 2,2-dichloro-N-(2-methylphenyl)acetamide, 2,2-dichloro-N-(3-methylphenyl)acetamide, 2,2-dichloro-N-(4-methylphenyl)acetamide, N-(3,5-dimethylphenyl)acetamide and other acetanilides, with similar bond parameters. The molecules in the title compound are linked into infinite chains through N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonding.
