Abstract: The principal structural feature of the title compound, C₂₀H₂₁ClN₂O₆, is the dihedral angle of 89.15 (8)° between the two benzene rings of the molecule. The N-Csp² bond distance of 1.387 (3) Å is significantly shorter than the N-Csp³ bond distance of 1.461 (3) Å. Classical N-HO and weak C-HO hydrogen bonding occurs in the crystal structure.
