THE DIHEDRAL ANGLE BETWEEN THE PLANES OF TWO AROMATIC RINGS IN THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: 3-benzoyl-5-chloro-pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione], C(11)H(7)ClN(2)O(3), is 86.79 (6)°. Centrosymmetric dimers formed by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are linked through C-H⋯O inter-actions, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to (10).
