title: N-(4-Chloro-phen-yl)ethanimidamide.
abstract: A twisted conformation is found in the title compound, C(8)H(9)ClN(2), with the ethanimidamide residue being twisted substantially to the benzene ring [dihedral angle = 66.54 (14)°]. The conformation about the C=N double bond [1.299 (3) Å] is Z. A two-dimensional array with a zigzag topology is formed in the crystal structure via N-H⋯N and N-H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding inter-actions.
