In the title compound, C10H6Cl3NO2, a mean plane fitted through all non-H atoms has an r.m.s. deviation of 0.035 Å. In the crystal, adjacent molecules are connected by O-H...O hydrogen bonds and [pi]-[pi] stacking interactions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.650 (1) Å], resulting in an infinite chain which propagates in the b-axis direction.

The title compound was obtained as an unexpected product from an attempt to synthesize a Top1 (DNA topoisomerase IB) inhibitor For general background to Top1, see: Pommier (2006[Pommier, Y. (2006). Nature Rev. 6, 789-802.]). For the synthesis, see: Shen et al. (2008[Shen, D. Q., Cheng, Y., An, L. K., Bu, X. Z., Huang, Z. S. & Gu, L. Q. (2008). Chin. Chem. Lett. 19, 533-536.]); Cheng et al.
