Abstract
The title compound, C10H8ClNO, is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation for the 13 non-H atoms = 0.023 angstrom). In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds generate R-2(2)(8) rings. Weak aromatic pi-pi stacking interactions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.7622 (12) angstrom] also occur.
