title: 4-Chloro-N-methyl-benzamide.
abstract: There are two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(8)H(8)ClNO, which are linked in the crystal structure via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains along the b axis. C-H⋯O contacts also occur. The benzene ring makes dihedral angles of 5.9 (1) and 16.7 (1)°with the attached amide group in the two independent molecules.
