Abstract

In the title compound, C(10)H(11)Cl(2)NO, the N-H bond is syn to the 3-methyl substituent in the aromatic ring, similar to that observed in N-(3,4-dimethyl-phen-yl)acetamide and to the 3-chloro substituent in 2,2-dichloro-N-(3,4-dichloro-phen-yl)acetamide, and contrasting with the anti conformation observed for the 3-methyl substituent in 2,2,2-trichloro-N-(3,4-dimethyl-phen-yl)acetamide. On the other hand, it is anti to the C=O bond. An inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond links mol-ecules into infinite chains along the b axis.
