Benzoylmethyl 4-chlorobenzoate

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C15H11ClO3, contains three molecules, A, B, and C. Molecules A and B are aligned edge-to-face, whereas molecules B and C are aligned almost parallel to each other. The crystal structure displays C—H...π and π–π [centroid–centroid distances of 3.960 (4), 3.971 (4) and 3.971 (4) for molecules A, B and C, respectively] parallel-displaced interactions, and C—H...O hydrogen bonds.
