In the title compound, C14H10BrF2NO, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the 4-bromophenyl and 3,4-difluorophenyl rings is 66.4 (1)°. These two planes are twisted by 40.0 (5) and 86.3 (2)°, respectively, from that of the acetamide group. In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯F interactions form infinite chains along [100].

4-bromophenylacetic acid (0.213 g, 1 mmol), 3,4-difluoro aniline (0.129 g, 1 mmol) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (1.0 g, 0.01 mol) were dissolved in dichloromethane (20 mL) (Fig. 3). The mixture was stirred in presence of triethylamine at 273 K for about 3 h. The contents were poured into 100 ml of ice-cold aqueous hydrochloric acid with stirring, which was extracted thrice with dichloromethane. The organic layer was washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution and brine solution, dried and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (I). Single crystals were grown from methylene chloride by the slow evaporation method (m.p.: 423–425 K).
All of the H atoms were placed in their calculated positions and then refined using the riding model with Atom—H lengths of 0.95Å (CH), 0.99Å (CH2) or 0.88° (NH). Isotropic displacement parameters for these atoms were set to 1.2 (CH, CH2, NH) times Ueq of the parent atom.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |

N-Substituted 2-arylacetamides are very interesting compounds because of their structural similarity to the lateral chain of natural benzylpenicillin (Mijin et al., 2006, 2008). Amides are also used as ligands due to their excellent coordination abilities (Wu et al., 2008, 2010). Crystal structures of some acetamide derivatives viz., N-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)-2-(naphthalen-1-yl)acetamide (Praveen et al., 2011a), N-(4-chloro-1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-2- (3-methylphenyl)acetamide monohydrate (Praveen et al., 2011b), N-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)-2,2-diphenylacetamide (Praveen et al., 2011c) and N-(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)-2-(3-methylphenyl)acetamide (Praveen et al., 2012) have been reported. In view of the importance of amides, we report here in the crystal structure of the title compound, C14H10BrF2NO, (I).
In (I) the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the 4-bromophenyl and 3,4-difluorophenyl rings is 66.4 (1)° (Fig. 1). These two planes are twisted by 40.0 (5)° and 86.3 (2)°, respectively, from that of the acetamide group. Bond lengths are in normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). In the crystal, N—H···O hydrogen bonds and weak C—H···O and C—H···F intermolecular interactions are observed forming a infinite chains along (100) and contribute to packing stability (Fig. 2).
