“…The amide moiety is the constituent of many biologically significant compounds. As part of our studies on the substituent effects on the structures and other aspects of N-(aryl)-amides (Bhat & Gowda, 2000;Bowes et al, 2003;Gowda et al, 2008;Saeed et al, 2010, N-(aryl)-methanesulfonamides (Gowda et al, 2007), N-(aryl)-arylsulfonamides (Shetty & Gowda, 2005) and N-chloro-arylamides (Gowda & Weiss, 1994), in the present work, the crystal structure of N-(phenyl)-4-chlorobenzamide (I) has been determined ( Fig.1).…”
