title: (E)-3-Chloro-N'-hy-droxy-benzene-1-carboximidamide.
abstract: The title compound, C7H7ClN2O, crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The compound adopts an E configuration across the C=N double bond, as the -OH group and the benzene ring are on opposite sides of the double bond while the H atom of the hy-droxy group is directed away from the -NH2 group. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked to one another through O-H⋯N and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [010].
