2-Chloro-N-(2,6-dichloro-phen-yl)benzamide
Abstract:
In the structure of the title compound (N26DCP2CBA), C(13)H(8)Cl(3)NO, the conformations of N-H and C=O bonds in the amide group are trans to each other, similar to that observed in N-(2,6-dichloro-phen-yl)benzamide, 2-chloro-N-phenyl-benzamide, 2-chloro-N-(2-chloro-phen-yl)benzamide and 2-chloro-N-(2,3-dichloro-phen-yl)benzamide with similar bond parameters. Furthermore, the position of the amide O atom is syn to the ortho-chloro group in the benzoyl ring. The amide group makes a dihedral angle of 59.8 (1)° with the benzoyl ring, while the benzoyl and aniline rings make a dihedral angle of 8.1 (2)°. The mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into infinite chains running along the b axis.

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
