title: Methyl 5-chloro-2-nitro-benzoate.
abstract: In the title compound, C(8)H(6)ClNO(4), the nitro and acet-oxy groups attached to the benzene ring at neighbouring positions are twisted from its plane by 29.4 (1) and 49.7 (1)°, respectively. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link mol-ecules into layers parallel to (101). The crystal packing exhibits short inter-molecular C⋯O distances of 2.925 (3) Å.
