The title compound, C13H10FNO2, was obtained by the reaction of 2-bromo-4-fluorobenzoic acid with aniline. There are two independent molecules, A and B, in the asymmetric unit, with slight conformational differences: the dihedral angles between the aromatic rings are 55.63 (5) and 52.65 (5)°. Both molecules feature an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by pairwise O—H...O hydrogen bonds to form A–B acid–acid dimers and weak C—H...F interactions further connect the dimers.
