The crystal structure of the title compound, C14H10ClNO3, is stabilized by inversion-related O-H center dot center dot center dot O and C - H center dot center dot center dot O intermolecular hydrogen bonds and also by C-H center dot center dot center dot pi and pi-pi interactions (centroid-to-centroid distance 3.681 angstrom and plane-to plane separation 3.618 angstrom). The O-H center dot center dot center dot O and C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds generate edge-fused R-2(1)(6)R-4(4)(27)R-2(1)(6) ring motifs. The phthalide part of the molecule is planar and is inclined at 76.8(2)degrees to the benzene ring of the aminophenyl group.
