(Z)-6-[(5-Chloro-2-hydroxy­anilino)­methyl­ene]-4-methoxy­cyclo­hexa-2,4-dienone 0.25-hydrate

The title compound, C(14)H(12)ClNO(3)·0.25H(2)O, exists in the keto–amine form, and the aromatic rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 7.24 (7)°. Bifurcated intra­molecular N—H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bonds result in the formation of planar six- and five-membered rings. In the crystal structure, inter­molecular O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains. π–π contacts between benzene rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.5065 (9) Å] may further stabilize the structure. There also exists a weak C—H⋯π inter­action.
