Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₁H₁₆ClNO, the side chain of the ethylamine group is almost perpendicular to the benzene ring; the dihedral angle between the C/C/N plane of the ethylamine grouping and the benzene plane is 87.4 (2)°. An intramolecular N-HO hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal structure, molecules are connected weakly by O-HN hydrogen bonds, forming a tetramer around the $\\overline{4}$ symmetry axis. The tetramers are linked weakly by a C-HO hydrogen bond.
