2-Chloro-N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acetamide

Abstract

The title compound, C8H8ClNO2, is significantly distorted from planarity, with a twist angle between the planes through the hydroxybenzene and acetamide groups being 23.5 (2)°. This conformation is supported by intramolecular C—H...O and N—H...Cl contacts. In the crystal, N—H...O hydrogen-bonding contacts between acetamide groups and O—H...O contacts between hydroxyl groups form tapes propagating parallel to [103].
