Abstract: The conformation of the N-H bond in the title compound (23DCPCA), C₈H₆Cl₃NO, is syn to both the 2- and 3-chloro substituents in the aromatic ring, similar to the 2-chloro substituent in 2-chloro-N-(2-chlorophenyl)acetamide (2CPCA), the 2- and 3-chloro substituents in N-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)acetamide (23DCPA) and in 2,2-dichloro-N-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)acetamide (23DCPDCA). The bond parameters in 23DCPCA are similar to those in 2-chloro-N-(phenyl)acetamide, 2CPCA, 23DCPA, 23DCPDCA and other acetanilides. The molecules in 23DCPCA are linked into chains through N-HO hydrogen bonding.
