(E)-2-(2,6-Dichlorophenyl)-2-(phenylimino)acetamide

In the title compound, C14H10Cl2N2O, which is an important synthetic precursor of a human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) inhibitor, the dihedral angle between the 2,6-dichlorophenyl ring and the phenyl ring is 69.4 (1)°. In the crystal structure, the molecules form centrosymmetric dimers via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds with an R 2 2(8) motif. The dimers are connected by intermolecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π interactions.
