Abstract

The mol­ecule of the title compound, C18H18ClN3O4, is twisted about the chiral C atom with the dihedral angle between the two amide residues being 87.8 (5)°, but, overall, it can be described as curved, with the benzene rings lying on the same side of the mol­ecule [dihedral angle = 62.8 (4)°]. The conformation about the imine bond [1.294 (7) Å] is E. In the crystal, a two-dimensional array in the ab plane is mediated by O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds as well as C—H⋯Cl inter­actions. The layers stack along the c-axis direction, being connected by C—H⋯.π contacts.
