The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C18H18Cl2N2O2, contains one half of an independent molecule, the other half being generated via a centre of inversion at the molecular centroid. In the crystal structure, molecular chains are formed through non-classical C-H... O hydrogen bonds between an axial H atom of the oxazine ring and the O atom of a neighbouring molecule.
