3-(3-Chlorophenyl)-N-phenyloxirane-2-carboxamide

L. He and L.-M. Chen

Abstract: There are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C₁₅H₁₂ClN₂O₂. In each molecule, the two benzene rings adopt a cis configuration with respect to the epoxy ring. The dihedral angles between the epoxy ring and chlorophenyl rings are essentially identical in the two molecules [62.50 (9) and 62.67 (9)°]. Intermolecualar N-HO and C-HO hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.
