A new refinement of the orthorhombic polymorph of acet­amide

Crystals of orthorhombic acet­amide, C2H5NO, were obtained from a mixture of ethyl­ acetate and dilute ammonia. The previously reported structure [Hamilton (1965). Acta Cryst. 18, 866–870] was confirmed, with two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. The mol­ecules are hydrogen bonded to form columns....

Summary:Crystals of orthorhombic acet­amide, C2H5NO, were obtained from a mixture of ethyl­ acetate and dilute ammonia. The previously reported structure [Hamilton (1965). Acta Cryst. 18, 866–870] was confirmed, with two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. The mol­ecules are hydrogen bonded to form columns. Neighboring columns are connected by weak intermolecular C—H⋯O interactions.
