(RS)-N-[(4-Chlorophenyl)(phenyl)methyl]formamide

Abstract

The racemic title compound, C14H12ClNO, contains two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The dihedral angles between the phenyl and benzene rings are 84.03 (15) and 83.92 (13)°. The crystal structure involves intermolecular N—H...O, C—H...Cl and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, linking molecules into layers parallel to the (100) plane.
