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

In the title compound, C(16)H(13)ClO(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 π-π stacking inter-action, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.7793†(10)†à between the inversion-related benzene rings.
