2-Hydroxy-N-(4-methoxybenzyl)-4-nitroanilinium chloride

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, C14H15N2O4 +·Cl−, can be described as being composed of layers containing both cations and anions that are staggered along [010]. Two types of the hydrogen bonds are observed, viz. cation–anion and cation–cation. The chloride anions are acceptors of the strong hydrogen bonds donated by the secondary amine and the hy­droxy groups. The packing is also stabilized by weak C—H⋯O inter­molecular hydrogen bonds. An intra­molecular N—H⋯O inter­action also occurs.
