title: 2-(2-Chloro-phen-yl)-2-oxo-N-phenyl-acetamide.
abstract: In the title compound, C(14)H(10)ClNO(2), the dihedral angle between the two rings is 59.4 (2)°. The two carbonyl groups are oriented almost anti-periplanar to each other, with a torsion angle of -160.43 (2)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into inversion dimers by pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
