In the title compound, C16H13ClO4, the two benzene rings make a dihedral angle of 86.38 (8)°. In the crystal, intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules to form columns along the a axis. The molecules are also stabilized by a π–π stacking interaction, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.7793 (10) Å between the inversion-related benzene rings.

The mixture of 2-methoxybenzoic acid (1.0 g, 0.0065 mol), potassium carbonate (0.98 g, 0.0071 mol) and 2-bromo-1-(4-chlorophenyl)ethanone (1.45 g, 0.0065 mol) in dimethylformamide (10 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. On cooling, colorless needle-shaped crystals of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-oxoethyl 2-methoxybenzoate begins to separate out. It was collected by filtration and recrystallized from ethanol. Yield : 1.9 g, 95 %, M.p. : 391–392 K, (CAS Registry Number: 282714–31–2).
All H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C–H = 0.93–0.97 Å. The Uiso(H) values were constrained to be 1.5Ueq of the
for methyl H atoms and 1.2Ueq for the remaining H atoms.Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2009); cell

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Phenacyl benzoate derivatives are very important in identification of organic acids (Rather & Reid, 1919) as they undergo photolysis in neutral and mild conditions (Sheehan & Umezaw, 1973; Ruzicka et al., 2002 ; Litera et al., 2006). They find applications in the field of synthetic chemistry for the synthesis of oxazoles, imidazoles (Huang et al., 1996) and benzoxazepines (Gandhi et al., 1995). The phenacyl esters are usually prepared by reaction between acids with phenacylbromide derivatives in DMF using sodium or potassium carbonate as base. We hereby report the crystal structure of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-oxoethyl 2-methoxybenzoate, (I), which has potential commercial importance.
In the title compound of (I), the bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles show the normal values. The two benzene rings (C1–C6 and C10–C15) make a dihedral angle of 86.38 (8)°.
In the crystal packing (Fig. 2), intermolecular C2—H2A···O1 hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the molecules to form columns down to the a-axis. The molecules are also stabilized by π–π stacking interactions between the inversion-related benzene rings (C1–C6 ; centroid Cg1) with a Cg1···Cg1ii separation of 3.7793 (10) Å [symmetry code: (ii) 2 - x, -y, 2 - z].
