N -(3-Chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxybenzamide

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].
