In the title compound, C16H16ClNO2, the molecule adopts a bowed conformation, with a dihedral angle of 39.9 (2)° between the aromatic rings. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C-H...O hydrogen bonds, generating C(6) chains propagating in [010]. Very weak aromatic [pi]-[pi] stacking is also observed [centroid-centroid distance = 4.040 (2) Å].
