(Z)-3-Chloro-3-phenyl-N-[(S)-1-phenyl-ethyl]prop-2-enamide.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(17)H(16)ClNO, contains two crystallographically independent mol-ecules. These mol-ecules are connected in an alternating fashion through N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating one-dimensional chains of graph sets R(2) (1)(6) and C(4) along the a axis.
