Abstract
In the title compound, C10H10Cl2N2O2, the secondary amide groups are differently twisted relative to the benzene ring, with dihedral angles between the respective planes of 21.03 (2) and 81.22 (2)°. In the crystal, the molecules are connected by N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional polymeric network parallel to (001). One of the amide carbonyl O atoms accepts two H atoms in N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O interactions, forming an R 2 2(6) ring motif.

S1. Comment
The title compound has been synthesized to check its antimicrobial activity owing to the concept that amide moiety is an important part of different drugs. The title molecule is shown in Fig. 1.
The benzene-1,2-diamine (C3—C8/N1/N2; A) unit is planar with r. m. s. deviation of 0.0084 Å. The attached chloroacetyl groups differ structurally. The groups B (C1/C2/O1) and C (C9/C10/O2) form with the fragment A the dihedral angles of 21.0 (2)° and 82.78 (13)°, respectively. The molecules are connected by N-H···O and C-H···O hydrogen bonds to form a two dimensional polymeric network parallel to (0 0 1) (Table 1, Fig. 2). In closely related N,N'-phenylenebisacetamide (Shivanyuk et al., 2000) a one dimensional ribbon is formed.
S2. Experimental
Benzene-1,2-diamine (0.1 g, 0.925 mmol) was dissolved in chloroform (10 ml) and pyridine (0.149 ml, 1.85 mmol) was added. The mixture was cooled to 273–278 K in ice-water bath. A separately prepared solution of chloroacetyl chloride (0.104 g, 0.925 mmol) in chloroform (5 ml) was added drop wise to the above mixture. The mixture was stirred for 3 h and solvent was evaporated to give a pink colored residue.Recrystallization from chloroform gave colorless needles with melting point of 471.15 K.
S3. Refinement
The H-atoms were positioned geometrically (N—H = 0.86, C–H = 0.93–0.97 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C, N).

Special details
| Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
| Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R-factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |
