G. J. Gainsford and K. Clinch

Abstract: The dihedral angle between the planes of two aromatic rings in the title compound [systematic name: 3-benzoyl-5-chloro-pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione], C₁₁H₇ClN₂O₃, is 86.79 (6)°. Centrosymmetric dimers formed by N-HO hydrogen bonds are linked through C-HO interactions, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to (10 $\\overline{1}$ ).
