In the title compound, C13H10ClNO2, the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 5.57 (9)° and intramolecular N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds both generate S(6) rings. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into C(6) chains propagating along [010]. Molecules from neighbouring chains along the z axis are involved in C—H⋯π and π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.9340 (10) Å].

To a well stirred solution of 2-hydroxybenzoic acid (1.38 g, 0.01 mol, 1 eq) and SOCl2 (0.87 ml, 1.42 g, 0.012 mol, 1.2 eq) in dry CHCl3, 3-chloroaniline (1.05 ml, 1.27 g, 0.01 mol, 1 eq) and Et3N (2.08 ml, 1.5 g, 0.015 mol, 1.5 eq) was added slowly at room temperature, followed by reflux for three hours. After the completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, neutralized with aqueous NaHCO3 (10%) and the title compound was obtained as a white solid. The crude solid was filtered off and recrystallized from CHCl3 to afford white prisms.
The coordinates of H atoms of the amide and hydroxy groups were refined whereas the remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically with C–H = 0.93 Å and were included in the
in the riding model approximation. The isotropic displacement parameters of H atoms were set as Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C, N, O).Benzoxazepines are known for their mild tranquilizing activities. Different synthetic derivatives of benzoxazepine are potential biological candidates and exhibit a wide range of biological activities, e.g., anti-inflammatory activity (Pae et al., 2004), anti-depressant and anti-psychotic activity (Coupet et al., 1979). The title compound (I, Fig. 1) has been prepared as a precursor for the
of benzoxazepines.We have reported the crystal structures of (II) i.e., N-(4-chlorophenyl) -2-hydroxybenzamide (Raza et al., 2010a), (III) 2-hydroxy-5-nitro -N-phenylbenzamide (Raza et al., 2010b) and (IV) 2-hydroxy-3-nitro-N-phenylbenzamide (Raza et al., 2009) which are related to the title compound. The title compound differs from (II) due to attachment of chloro group at position-3 instead of position-4.
In (I), the phenyl rings A (C1–C6) of 2-hydroxyphenyl is planar with r. m. s. deviation of 0.012 Å and the O-atom of hydroxy group [O1] is at a distance of -0.078 (2) Å. Similary the phenyl ring B (C8—C13) of 3-chloroanilinic group is planar with r. m. s. deviation of 0.004 Å and the chloro group [CL1] is at a distance of -0.076 (2) Å. The dihedral angle between A/B is 5.57 (9)°. There exist intramolecular H-bonds of N—H···O and C—H···O types (Table 1, Fig. 1) completing S(6) ring motifs (Bernstein et al., 1995). The molecules are arranged to form one dimensional polymeric chains extending along the crystallographic b axis due to intermolecular H-bonds of O—H···O type (Table 1, Fig. 2). The C—H···π interactions (Table 1) and π–π interactions [the centroids of both aromatic rings at a distance of 3.934 (10) Å (symmetry: 1 - x, - y, 1 - z)] play an important role in stabilization of the crystal.

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Benzoxazepines are known for their mild tranquilizing activities. Different synthetic derivatives of benzoxazepine are potential biological candidates and exhibit a wide range of biological activities, e.g., anti-inflammatory activity (Pae et al., 2004), anti-depressant and anti-psychotic activity (Coupet et al., 1979). The title compound (I, Fig. 1) has been prepared as a precursor for the asymmetric synthesis of benzoxazepines.
We have reported the crystal structures of (II) i.e., N-(4-chlorophenyl) -2-hydroxybenzamide (Raza et al., 2010a), (III) 2-hydroxy-5-nitro -N-phenylbenzamide (Raza et al., 2010b) and (IV) 2-hydroxy-3-nitro-N-phenylbenzamide (Raza et al., 2009) which are related to the title compound. The title compound differs from (II) due to attachment of chloro group at position-3 instead of position-4.
In (I), the phenyl rings A (C1–C6) of 2-hydroxyphenyl is planar with r. m. s. deviation of 0.012 Å and the O-atom of hydroxy group [O1] is at a distance of -0.078 (2) Å. Similary the phenyl ring B (C8—C13) of 3-chloroanilinic group is planar with r. m. s. deviation of 0.004 Å and the chloro group [CL1] is at a distance of -0.076 (2) Å. The dihedral angle between A/B is 5.57 (9)°. There exist intramolecular H-bonds of N—H···O and C—H···O types (Table 1, Fig. 1) completing S(6) ring motifs (Bernstein et al., 1995). The molecules are arranged to form one dimensional polymeric chains extending along the crystallographic b axis due to intermolecular H-bonds of O—H···O type (Table 1, Fig. 2). The C—H···π interactions (Table 1) and π–π interactions [the centroids of both aromatic rings at a distance of 3.934 (10) Å (symmetry: 1 - x, - y, 1 - z)] play an important role in stabilization of the crystal.
