N-(Adamantan-1-yl)-2-chloroacetamide

Abstract

In the title compound, C12H18ClNO, which was synthesized as part of a study into potential anti­tuberculosis agents, the adamantine skeleton displays shorter than normal C—C bond lengths ranging between 1.5293 (18) and 1.5366 (15) Å. The structure also displays inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding, which forms an infinite chain in the a-axis direction.
