N-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2,2-diphenylacetamide

Abstract

In the title compound, C20H16ClNO, anS(6) ring motif is formedviaan intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bond. The chloro-substituted benzene ring is almost perpendicular to the benzene rings, forming dihedral angles of 87.33 (9) and 88.69 (9)°. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 87.17 (9)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked into chains parallel to thecaxis by intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds. The crystal packing also features weak C—H...π interactions involving the chloro-substituted ring.
