Abstract
In the title compound, C(8)H(8)ClNO(2), the acetamide substituent is twisted out of the phenyl plane, forming a dihedral angle of 58.61 (7)°. In the extended structure, each mol-ecule donates two hydrogen bonds [N-H⋯O(carbon-yl) and O-H⋯O(carbon-yl)] and thus also accepts two such hydrogen bonds. The chlorine atom is not involved in the hydrogen bonding.
