Crystal structures of two C,N-disubstituted acetamides: 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-N-(2-iodophenyl)acetamide and 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-N-(pyrazin-2-yl)acetamide

Abstract

In the crystal of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-N-(2-iodophenyl)acetamide, C14H11ClINO, molecules are linked by a combination of N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds to form aC(4)C(4)[R21(7)] chain of rings and chains of this type are linked by a combination of C—Cl...π(arene) and C—I...π(arene) interactions to form deeply puckered twofold interwoven sheets. In the crystal of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-N-(pyrazin-2-yl)acetamide, C12H10ClN3O, molecules are linked into complex sheets by N—H...N, C—H...N and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, and by C—H...π(arene) interactions.
