The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(15)H(11)ClO(3), contains three mol-ecules, A, B, and C. Mol-ecules A and B are aligned edge-to-face, whereas mol-ecules B and C are aligned almost parallel to each other. The crystal structure displays C-H⋯π and π-π [centroid-centroid distances of 3.960 (4), 3.971 (4) and 3.971 (4) for mol-ecules A, B and C, respectively] parallel-displaced inter-actions, and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
