title: Benzoximate.
abstract: IN THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: (3-chloro-2,6-dimeth-oxy-phen-yl)(eth-oxy-imino)-methyl benzoate], C(18)H(18)ClNO(5), the phenyl and chloro-dimeth-oxy-phenyl rings are linked by the eth-oxy-imino-methyl benzoate system such that they are almost perpendicular to each other with the dihedral angle between them being 85.72 (9)°. In the crystal, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds between the phenyl and chloro-dimeth-oxy-phenyl rings generate R(2) (2)(8) rings which link the mol-ecules into zigzag chains along the b axis. Additional C-H⋯O contacts, together with weak inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions, further link the mol-ecules into a three-dimensional network.
