title: 2,4-Dichloro-N-p-tolyl-benzamide.
abstract: In the title compound, C(14)H(11)Cl(2)NO, the C-N-C(=O)-C amide unit is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0317 Å) and subtends dihedral angles of 65.93 (6) and 29.45 (7)°, respectively, to the dichloro-benzene and tolyl rings. The two aromatic rings are inclined at 37.92 (6)° to one another. In the crystal structure, N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains along b. Additional weak C-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds combine with C-H⋯π and very weak π-π contacts [Cg⋯Cg distance = 4.0217 (12) Å] to stack the mol-ecules down b.
