title: Ethyl N-(2-benzoyl-4-chloro-phen-yl)-ethane-carboximidate.
abstract: In the title compound, C(17)H(16)ClNO(2), the N=C-O-C-C fragment is planar within 0.029 (1) Å, and makes dihedral angles of 66.71 (8) and 59.61 (8)° with the planes of the chloro-phenyl and benzoyl rings, respectively. The carbonyl C=O bond is not coplanar with either of the aromatic rings; it makes angles of 42.5 and 23.5° with the normals to the ring planes. In the crystal, very weak C-H⋯O, C-H⋯Cl, C-H⋯π and π-π [inter-planar distance = 3.53 (1) Å] inter-actions are observed.
