2-Chloro-N-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)benzamide.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, C(14)H(12)ClNO(2), the chloro- and meth-oxy-substituted benzene rings are close to orthogonal [dihedral angle = 79.20 (3)°]. These rings also make angles of 45.9 (3) and 33.5 (3)° with the amide -CONH- unit. The meth-oxy substituent lies close to the meth-oxy-benzene ring plane, with a maximum deviation of 0.142 (3) Å for the methyl C atom. The N-H bond is anti to the 2-chloro substituent of the aniline ring. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds form C(4) chains augmented by a weak C-H⋯O inter-action involving an ortho H atom of the meth-oxy benzene ring that generates an R(2) (1)(6) motif. The chains stack the mol-ecules into columns down the b axis. Adjacent columns are linked by additional C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π contacts, generating a three-dime
