Four new derivatives of N-aryl-2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetamide, 2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)-N-(4-fluorophenyl)acetamide, N-(4-bromophenyl)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetamide, N-[4-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetamide, and N-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetamide, and two of N-alkyl-2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetamide, N-dodecyl-2,4-dichlorophenoxy-acetamide and 2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)-N-hexadecylacetamide, have been characterized by X-ray powder diffraction. These organic compounds are potential pesticides. Experimental 2θ peaks positions, relative peak intensities, values of d and Miller indices, and unit cell parameters are presented.
