The structure consists of discrete molecules linked by van der Waals forces and presents a week intramolecular hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl group and one chlorine atom. C-Cl distances are shorter than those expected. N atom has a sp2 planar configuration. Furil ring is planar and has bond distances and angles similar to those of furan, within experimental errors. The crystal is monoclinic, S.G. P2(1)/a with a=13.150(10), b=9.388(6), c=11.302(2) Å, (=83.4(1) deg and Z=4. This study tries to help in correlation of bioactivity and spectroscopic properties of this compound and its structure.
