Abstract: The conformation of the N-H bond in the structure of the title compound, C₁₃H₉Cl₂NO, is anti to the meta-chloro substituent in the dichlorophenyl ring, similar to that observed with respect to the meta-chloro substituent in N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)acetamide and ortho-chloro substituent in N-(2-chlorophenyl)benzamide, but in contrast to the syn conformation observed with respect to both the ortho-chloro and meta-chloro substituents in N-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)benzamide. The bond parameters are similar to those in 2-chloro-N-phenylbenzamide, N-(2-chlorophenyl)benzamide and N-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)benzamide. The molecules are packed into chains in the direction of the b axis through N-HO hydrogen bonds.
