title: Crystal structure of 2-[2-(2,5-di-chloro-benz-yloxy)-2-(furan-2-yl)eth-yl]-2H-indazole.
abstract: In the title compound, C20H16Cl2N2O2, the indazole ring system is approximately planar [maximum deviation = 0.033 (1) Å], its mean plane is oriented at dihedral angles of 25.04 (4) and 5.10 (4)° to the furan and benzene rings, respectively. In the crystal, pairs of C-Hind⋯Obo(ind = indazole and bo = benz-yloxy) hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into centrosymmetric dimers with graph-set motifR22(12). Weak C-H⋯π inter-actions is also observed. Aromatic π-π stacking between the benzene and the pyrazole rings from neighbouring mol-ecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.8894 (7) Å] further consolidates the crystal packing.
