2-(4-Chloro-phen-yl)-2-oxoethyl 2-meth-oxy-benzoate

Abstract

In the title compound, C 16H 13ClO 4, the two benzene rings make a dihedral angle of 86.38 (8) . In the crystal, inter-molecular C - H?O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules to form columns along the a axis. The mol-ecules are also stabilized by a ?-? stacking inter-action, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.7793 (10) between the inversion-related benzene rings. Fun et al. 2011.
