title: 2-Chloro-N-[4-chloro-2-(2-chloro-benzo-yl)phen-yl]acetamide.
abstract: In the title compound, C(15)H(10)Cl(3)NO(2), an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond forms a six-membered ring and enforces an almost coplanar conformation for the acetamido group, the central benzene ring and the bridging carbonyl C-C(=O)-C group: the dihedral angles between the benzene ring and the acetamide and carbonyl C-C(=O)-C planes are 7.06 (11) and 7.17 (12)°, respectively. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 67.43 (9)°. Because a strong hydrogen-bond donor is involved in the intra-molecular inter-action, the crystal packing is determined by weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Cl inter-actions.
