2-Chloro-N-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)benzamide

Abstract

In the title compound, C15H14ClNO, the conformation of the N—H bond is anti to the meta-methyl group in the aniline ring, while that of the C=O bond is anti to the ortho-chloro group in the benzoyl ring. The mean planes through the two benzene rings make a dihedral angle of 80.8 (2)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming column-like chains along the b axis.
