2-Amino-N-(2-chloropyridin-3yl)benzamide

Abstract

The title compound, C12H10ClN3O, is a condensation product of 3-amino-2-chloropyridine and ethyl 2-aminobenzoate in which the aromatic rings are almost coplanar [dihedral angle = 2.28 (9)°] and an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal, N—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen bonds link the molecules into (100) sheets.
