The title compound, C22H16ClNO4, adopts a conformation in which the phenyl ring plane forms similar dihedral angles with the nitrobenzoate C6 ring [76.97 (8)°] and the chlorophenyl group [76.95 (8)°]; the dihedral angle between the chlorophenyl and nitrobenzoate rings is 66.43 (8)°. In the crystal, π–π stacking is observed between the latter two planes, with a dihedral angle of 1.79 (8)° and a centroid–centroid distance of 3.735 (1) Å. In addition, molecules are linked along [100] by weak C—H...O contacts.
