title: N-(Adamantan-1-yl)-2-chloro-acetamide.
abstract: In the title compound, C(12)H(18)ClNO, which was synthesized as part of a study into potential anti-tuberculosis agents, the adamantine skeleton displays shorter than normal C-C bond lengths ranging between 1.5293 (18) and 1.5366 (15) Å. The structure also displays inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding, which forms an infinite chain in the a-axis direction.
