Abstract
In the title compound, C20H13Cl2NO, the C=N bond adopts an E conformation. The chloro-substituted rings form a dihedral angle of 11.99 (9)° with each other and form dihedral angles of 74.95 (9) and 83.26 (10)° with the unsubstituted ring. In the crystal, molecules are connected into dimers by pairs of weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds and the dimers are arranged in columns parallel to the a axis.
