Abstract: The title compound, C₁₃H₁₀ClNO₂, exists in a trans configuration about the central C=N bond. The two benzene rings are almost coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 2.48 (10)°. An intramolecular O-HN hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal structure, O-HO hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains along [101]. Short CCl contacts [3.584 (2)-3.646 (2) Å] are observed. A short intramolecular C-HO contact occurs.
