2,2-Dichloro-N-(3,4-dimethyl­phen­yl)acetamide

In the title compound, C10H11Cl2NO, the N—H bond is syn to the 3-methyl substituent in the aromatic ring, similar to that observed in N-(3,4-dimethyl­phen­yl)acetamide and to the 3-chloro substituent in 2,2-dichloro-N-(3,4-dichloro­phen­yl)acetamide, and contrasting with the anti conformation observed for the 3-methyl substituent in 2,2,2-trichloro-N-(3,4-dimethyl­phen­yl)acetamide. On the other hand, it is anti to the C=O bond. An inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond links mol­ecules into infinite chains along the b axis

Not AvailableField studies were conducted in Karnataka, India, in 2008-09 and 2009-10, to determine the floral biology in relation to flowering pattern in a spike and within a spikelet, time of flowering, blooming period and period of anther withering in 3 promising finger millet cultivars, i.e. HR 911, PR 202 and GPU 28. Results revealed that all the 3 cultivars showed a basipetal manner of flowering pattern in a spike and acropetal manner within a spikelet. The time of flowering was recorded as 4.15 AM, 3.40 AM and 3.00 AM and the blooming period was recorded as 7-8, 9 and 8 days in GPU 28, HR 911 and PR 202, respectively. The duration of pollen emergence to anther withering in these cultivars ranged from 25 to 30 minutesNot Availabl
