The conformation of the N—H bond in the structure of the title compound, C10H12ClNO, is syn to the ortho methyl group, similar to that observed with respect to the meta methyl group in 2-chloro-N-(3-methylphenyl)acetamide and the ortho-chloro group in 2-chloro-N-(2-chlorophenyl)acetamide. The geometric parameters are similar to those of other acetanilides. The molecules are linked into chains through intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds.
