title: 2-(4-Iodo-phen-oxy)acetamide.
abstract: The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(8)H(8)INO(2), amide-typical resonance shortens the nominal C-N single bond to 1.322 (7) Å. In the crystal, hydrogen bonds involving both nitro-gen-bound H atoms as well as C-H⋯O contacts connect the mol-ecules into double layers approximately perpendicular to the crystallographic b axis. No π-stacking is apparent in the crystal structure.
