title: 2,4-Dichloro-phenyl benzoate.
abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, C(13)H(8)Cl(2)O(2), resembles those of 2,3-dichloro-phenyl benzoate, 2,4-dimethyl-phenyl benzoate and other aryl benzoates, with similar bond parameters. The plane of central -C(=O)-O- group is inclined at the angle of 9.1 (2)° with respect to the benzoate ring. The two aromatic rings make a dihedral angle of 47.8 (1)°. In the crystal structure there are no classical hydrogen bonds. The mol-ecules in the structure are packed into chains diagonally in the bc plane.
