biostudies-literature00580Unknown64(Pt 5)Gowda BTIn the crystal structure of the title compound, C(13)H(9)Cl(2)NO, the N-H and C=O bonds are anti to each other in the two independent mol-ecules. In one mol-ecule, the N-H bond is syn to the meta-chloro group of the attached ring; it is anti in the other mol-ecule. This relationship is also observed between the C=O bond and the meta-chloro substituent of its attached ring. The amide -NHCO- group makes dihedral angles of 31.5 (4) and 34.7 (3)° with the aniline rings; it makes dihedral angles of 37.4 (3) and 37.2 (3)° with the benzoyl rings. The two rings are nearly coplanar, with dihedral angles of 9.1 (2) and 7.3 (3)° in the two independent mol-ecules. Adjacent mol-ecules are linked into infinite chains through N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.Acta crystallographica.
