Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₅H₁₁Cl₂NO₂, the aromatic rings are twisted by 62.2  (1)° and the chloroacetamide moiety adopts an extended conformation. Intramolecular N-HO and N-HCl interactions stabilize the structure and networks of intermolecular C-HO hydrogen bonds stabilize the crystal packing in addition to C-H and halogen-halogen interactions.
