title: 2-Chloro-N-(3,4-dimethyl-phen-yl)acetamide.
abstract: The conformation of the C=O bond in the structure of the title compound, C(10)H(12)ClNO, is anti to the N-H bond and to the methyl-ene H atoms in the side chain in both the independent mol-ecules comprising the asymmetric unit. However, the conformation of the N-H bond is syn to the meta-methyl substituent in the aromatic ring of one of the mol-ecules and anti in the other mol-ecule. The two independent mol-ecules are linked through inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding into chains parallel to the b axis.
