N-Benzyl-2-(3-chloro-4-hydroxyphenyl)acetamide

Abstract

The title compound, C15H14ClNO2, was synthesized as part of a project to generate a combinatorial library based on the fungal natural product 2-(3-chloro-4-hydroxyphenyl)acetamide. It crystallizes as non-planar discrete molecules [the peripheral 3-chloro-4-hydroxyphenyl and benzyl groups are twisted out of the plane of the central acetamide group, with N—C—C—C and C—C—C—C torsion angles of −58.8 (3) and 65.0 (2)°, respectively] linked by intermolecular N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds.
