title: (E)-2-(2,6-Dichloro-phen-yl)-2-(phenyl-imino)acetamide.
abstract: In the title compound, C(14)H(10)Cl(2)N(2)O, which is an important synthetic precursor of a human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) inhibitor, the dihedral angle between the 2,6-dichloro-phenyl ring and the phenyl ring is 69.4 (1)°. In the crystal structure, the mol-ecules form centrosymmetric dimers via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds with an R(2) (2)(8) motif. The dimers are connected by inter-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions.
