4-Chloronaphthalen-1-yl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate

Abstract

In the title compound, C17H13ClO3S, the naphthalene ring system and the benzene ring of the tosylate substituent are inclined to one another by 55.32 (5)°. The crystal structure features weak intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds, one of which forms inversion dimers. Additional C—H...O hydrogen bonds and weak Cl...Cl halogen bonds stack the molecules along the b-axis direction.
