Abstract: In the title compound, C₉H₉ClN₂, a substituted imidazoline, the six- and five-membered rings are twisted from each other, making a dihedral angle of 17.07 (5)°. In the crystal structure, a short ClCl [3.3540 (3) Å] interaction is observed. Neighbouring molecules are linked together by intermolecular N-HN hydrogen bonds into a one-dimensional infinite chain along the [101] direction and short ClCl contacts link the chains into a three-dimensional network. There is also a significant -stacking interaction between the planar sections of the six- and five-membered rings.
