The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C17H11Cl3N2O2, contains two independent molecules; the pyrazole rings are oriented with respect to the chlorophenyl and dichlorophenyl rings at dihedral angles of 43.00 (3) and 65.06 (4)°, respectively, in one molecule, and 51.17 (3) and 69.99 (3)°, respectively, in the other. Pairs of intermolecular O-H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into dimers. In the crystal structure, there are [pi]-[pi] contacts between the pyrazole rings and dichlorophenyl rings [centroid-centroid distances = 3.859 (3) and 3.835 (3) Å].
