Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₀H₉Cl₂NO₃, consists of dimers due to intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonding forming an R₂²(8) ring through the carboxyl groups. These dimers are linked to each other by intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the amine group and the adjacent carbonyl O atom. A single C-Cl interaction is also observed between the chloro-substituted aromatic rings.
