title: 3-Chloro-methyl-6,7-dimethyl-1,2-benz-oxazole.
abstract: In the title compound, C(10)H(10)ClNO, the benzoisoxazole ring is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0121 Å) and the chloro substituent in the side chain is anti-clinal relative to the N-C bond of the isoxazole ring. In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are linked via a pair of weak C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming dimers through a cyclic R(2) (2)(8) association.
