The title compound, C8H4ClNO2, has two planar molecules in the asymmetric unit, with the non-H atoms showing a mean deviation from planarity of 0.015 and 0.022 Å, respectively. In the crystal, the molecules are linked through N—H...O hydrogen bonds to form infinite chains along [010]. They are further connected through C—H...Cl close contacts with a donor–acceptor distance of 3.682 (5) Å. No π–π interactions are observed in the structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
