Abstract: The title compound, C₁₄H₁₂ClNO, is used in perfumery, as a catalyst for the polymerization of olefins, and in organic synthesis, especially as a photosensitizer and in the manufacture of dyes. The molecule is essentially planar and has a trans configuration. In this configuration, the Cl and O atoms shield the amino H atom, preventing the formation of an intermolecular hydrogen bond.
