Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₇H₁₇ClO₄, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two benzene rings is 65.92 (5)°. The methyl ester group lies within the ring plane [deviations of O atoms from the plane = -0.051 (2) and 0.151 (2) Å] due to an intramolecular O-HO hydrogen bond. In the crystal, molecules are held together by rather weak non-classical intermolecular C-HO hydrogen bonds, resulting in dimeric units about inversion centers, forming eight- and ten-membered ring systems as R₂²(8) and R₂²(10) motifs.
