3-Chloro-benzohydrazide

In the title compound, C(7)H(7)ClN(2)O, the hydrazide group is inclined at a dihedral angle of 32.30 (11)° with respect to the benzene ring. The amino H atoms form inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds with the O atoms of two adjacent mol-ecules, resulting in 10-membered rings of graph-set motif R(2) (2)(10). The imino H atom is also involved in an inter-molecular hydrogen bond with an amino N atom of a symmetry-related mol-ecule, resulting in a zigzag chain along the b axis. The structure is further consolidated by an intra-molecular N-H⋯O inter-action, which results in a five-membered ring.
