Abstract: The conformation of the C=O bond in the structure of the title compound, C₁₀H₁₂ClNO, is anti to the N-H bond and to the methylene H atoms in the side chain in both the independent molecules comprising the asymmetric unit. However, the conformation of the N-H bond is syn to the meta-methyl substituent in the aromatic ring of one of the molecules and anti in the other molecule. The two independent molecules are linked through intermolecular N-HO hydrogen bonding into chains parallel to the b axis.
