2,4-Dichloro-N-p-tolyl­benzamide

In the title compound, C(14)H(11)Cl(2)NO, the C—N—C(=O)—C amide unit is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0317 Å) and subtends dihedral angles of 65.93 (6) and 29.45 (7)°, respectively, to the dichloro­benzene and tolyl rings. The two aromatic rings are inclined at 37.92 (6)° to one another. In the crystal structure, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains along b. Additional weak C—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds combine with C—H⋯π and very weak π–π contacts [Cg⋯Cg distance = 4.0217 (12) Å] to stack the mol­ecules down b.
