This article has been In the molecule of the title compound, C14H12ClNO, the two aromatic rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 12.28 (7)°. An intramolecular O—H
N hydrogen bond results in the formation of a nearly planar six-membered ring, which is oriented with respect to the aromatic rings at dihedral angles of 0.18 (5) and 12.10 (6)°. In the crystal structure, weak intermolecular C—HO hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains along the c axis. There is a C—Hπ contact between the methyl group and the chlorophenyl ring and a π–π contact between the two benzene rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.866 (1) Å].
