The crystal structure of the title compound (4CP4MBA), C14H11ClO2, resembles those of 3-chlorophenyl 4-methylbenzoate (3CP4MBA), 4-methylphenyl 4-methylbenzoate (4MP4MBA), 4-methylphenyl 4-chlorobenzoate (4MP4CBA) and other aryl benzoates with similar bond parameters. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings in 4CP4MBA is 63.89 (8)°, compared with 71.75 (7)° in 3CP4MBA, 63.57 (5)° in 4MP4MBA and 51.86 (4)° in 4MP4CBA. In the crystal structure of the title compound, the molecules are linked into an infinite chain along the a axis via C—H—O hydrogen bonds.
