4-Bromo-N-phenylbenzamidoxime

Abstract

The title compound, C13H11BrN2O, a hydroxyamidine derivative (an amidoxime), was obtained by addition of the corresponding imidoyl chloride to hydroxylamine. The benzene and phenyl rings are twisted from the mean plane of the hydroxyamidine group by 34.4 (1) and 59.2 (1)°, respectively. In the crystal structure, intermolecular O—H...N hydrogen bonds link pairs of molecules, forming centrosymmetric dimers.
