General description

2-Chloro-N-phenylacetamide, also known as chloroacetanilide, can be prepared by reacting aniline with chloroacetylchloride in glacial acetic acid. The analysis of its crystal structure shows the presence of N-H...O hydrogen bonds between the molecules.

Application

2-Chloro-N-phenylacetamide may be used in the preparation of N,N′-(ethane-1,2-diyl)bis(2-(2-oxo-2-(phenylamino)ethoxy)benzamide), an amide podand. It may also be used to prepare phenylacetamide-based Schiff base ligands by reacting with corresponding hydrazones.

An analytical method is presented which permits qualitative and quantitative analysis of sulfonic acid degradates of three chloroacetanilide herbicides (acetochlor, alachlor, and metolachlor) and one chloroacetamide herbicide (dimethenamid) in groundwater at trace levels with determination by LC/MS/MS. The analytes were
