Abstract
In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(13)H(11)ClN(2)O(2), the mol-ecules form a three-dimensional network based on two types of hydrogen bonds between NH groups and the carbonyl oxygen atoms and amides. The mol-ecule is highly twisted, as evidenced by the dihedral angle between the 6-oxo-1,6-di-hydro-pyridine and benzene rings [88.1 (2)°].
