title: 4-[(E)-(3-Chloro-4-methyl-phen-yl)imino-meth-yl]-2-methoxy-3-nitro-phenyl acetate.
abstract: The title compound, C(17)H(15)ClN(2)O(5), displays a trans-configuration with respect to the C=N double bond. The mol-ecule is twisted, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two benzene rings being 18.70 (12)°. The nitro, meth-oxy and acetyl groups are oriented at 80.70 (11), 35.2 (2) and 72.35 (10)°, respectively, to the benzene ring to which they are bonded. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding contacts.
