Abstract: The title benzamide derivative, C₁₄H₁₂ClNO₂, crystallizes with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. Both are close to being planar, with dihedral angles between the two benzene rings of 11.92 (6) and 12.80 (7)°. In the crystal structure, N-HO hydrogen bonds link molecules into chains along a. These interactions are augmented by C-HO hydrogen bonds to form two-dimensional layers in the ac plane. Additional C-HO interactions result in a three-dimensional network consisting of undulating rows along c. The crystal studied was an inversion twin with a 0.59 (3):0.41 (3) domain ratio.
