N-Benzyl-N-(4-chlorophenyl)acrylamide

Abstract

In the molecular structure of the title compound, C16H14ClNO, the acrylamide unit is essentially planar and makes dihedral angles of 80.06 (12) and 68.91 (13)°, respectively, with the benzene and phenyl rings. The dihedral angle between the two rings is 49.79 (11)°. In the crystal structure, molecules are connected via weak C—H...O and C—H...π interactions, forming a molecular tape running along the b axis.
