title: 2-[(E)-(2,4-Dichloro-benzyl-idene)amino]-isoindoline-1,3-dione.
abstract: In the title compound, C(15)H(8)Cl(2)N(2)O(2), the mol-ecule adopts an E configuration about the central C=N double bond. The isoindoline ring is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.019 (2) Å. The dihedral angle between the isoindoline ring and the dichloro-substituted benzene ring is 6.54 (9)°. An intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. A short Cl⋯Cl contact of 3.4027 (9) Å is present in the crystal structure. The crystal packing is further stabilized by weak C-H⋯π inter-actions.
