title: Methyl 6-chloro-nicotinate.
abstract: The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(7)H(6)ClNO(2), is almost planar, with a dihedral angle of 3.34 (14)° between the COOMe group and the aromatic ring. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are arranged into (1[Formula: see text]2) layers by C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds and there are π-π stacking inter-actions between the aromatic rings in adjacent layers [centroid-centroid distance 3.8721 (4) Å].
