Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₄H₁₃ClN₂O, determined at 213  K, shows that the molecule is approximately planar in the solid state, having a trans configuration with respect to the azo double bond, as found for other diazene (azobenzene) derivatives. The dihedral angle between the planes of the two aromatic rings is 5.48  (10)°. Hydroxyl groups are linked to each other by intermolecular hydrogen bonds along the b axis.
