(E)-2-[(2-Chlorobenzylidene)amino]isoindoline-1,3-dione

Abstract

The title compound, C15H9ClN2O2, adopts an E configuration about the C=N double bond. The mean plane of the isoindoline ring system [maximum deviation = 0.011 (2) Å] is inclined to the chlorobenzene ring by 22.62 (8)°. In the crystal, molecules are connected by C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming chains that propagate along [010].
