The title compound, C7H6ClNO2, crystallizes with two roughly planar molecules in the (r.m.s. deviations = 0.073 and 0.074 Å). The amine H atoms of the two molecules have opposite orientations. In the crystal, molecules are linked into dimers by pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating R22(8) loops. N—H⋯N and N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the dimers into a three-dimensional network. The crystal studied was found to be a racemic twin.

To a 100-ml round bottom flask equipped with a reflux condenser, was placed 0.5 g (2.486 mmol) of 2-chloro-4-amino benzoic acid and 0.447 g m of granulated tin. Then, 30 ml of concentrated HCl in was added in six intervals (5 ml each time with cooling in ice). The reaction is highly exothermic and the reaction mixture is keept under control by keeping it in ice water. When all the HCl was added and the temprature of the reaction mixture was stable, the round bottom flask was placed on water bath for 90 min under reflux.
TLC check after 90 min showed completion of reaction. Reaction mixtures was treated with 60% NaOH solution followed by the addition of NaCl solution and extration with di-ethyl ether.
Diethyl ether was evaporated on rotary evaporator and reddish brown precipates of the required product were obtained. This was recrystallized in methanol to yield reddish brown prisms of (I).
The H atoms of the NH2 and OH groups in the title compound were located in a difference map and refined with the distance restraint N—–H = 0.86 (1) and O—–H = 0.82 (1) Å; their Uiso values were constrained to be 1.5Ueq of the
for hydroxyl H atoms and 1.2Ueq for amine H atoms. The remaining aromatic H atoms were positioned geometrically with C—H = 0.93 Å, and refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The crystal studied was a racemic twin [Flack parameter = 0.50 (6)].Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2007); cell

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 on F2 for ALL reflections except those flagged by the user for potential systematic errors. Weighted R-factors wR and all goodnesses of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The observed criterion of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating -R-factor-obs 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. |

The title compound, (I), is used as a starting material for the synthesis of various sulphonamides.
As shown in Fig. 1, the asymmetric unit of the title compound contains two independent molecules. Both have the bond lengths and angles as expected for a molecule of this kind (Farag et al., 2011).
The amine H atoms of the two molecules have opposite orientations. In the crystal, the molecules form dimers via intermolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds, forming a graph-set motif R22(8) (Bernstein et al., 1995; Table 1, Fig. 2). Furthermore, C—H···O, N—H···N and N—H···Cl interactions stabilize the crystal structure.
