The five-membered ring of the title compound, C17H15ClN2O,
is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.008 A ° ), and its phenyl
subsitutent is aligned at 34.9 (1) with respect to this ring. The
angle at the methylene C atom is opened to 116.4 (2). In the
crystal, adjacent molecules are linked by an N—H O
hydrogen bond, generating a linear chain along the a axis.
