2,2-Dimethyl-N-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)acetamide

B. T. Gowda, I. Svoboda and H. Fuess

Abstract: The structure of the title compound, C₁₀H₁₀Cl₃NO, is similar to that of N-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-chloro/methyl-acetamides and other acetanilides, with somewhat different geometric parameters. Comparison of the geometric parameters of the title compound with those of the ring and side-chain-substituted acetanilides reveals that substitution either in the benzene ring or in the side chain of the amides changes some of the space groups but also some of the bond lengths, and bond and torsion angles. The molecules in the title compound are packed into chains through N-HO hydrogen bonding.
