title: 2,2'-Dichloro-N,N'-[1,3-phenyl-enebis(methyl-ene)]diacetamide.
abstract: The complete mol-ecule of the title compound, C(12)H(14)Cl(2)N(2)O(2), is generated by a crystallographic twofold axis with two C atoms of the central benzene ring lying on the axis. In the crystal, N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains parallel to the c axis.
