4-Nitro­benzyl 2-chloro­acetate

摘要

In the mol­ecule of the title compound, C9H8ClNO4, the nearly planar acetate moiety [maximum deviation = 0.015 (3) Å for an O atom] is oriented with respect to the plane of the aromatic ring at a dihedral angle of 73.03 (3)°. In the crystal structure, inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions link mol­ecules into a network. π–π contacts between benzene rings [centroid–centroid distance = 4.000 (1) Å] may further stabilize the structure.
