In the title compound, C(16)H(12)ClNO(3), an arm-like 4-meth-oxy-benzene links to 5-chloro-indoline-2,3-dione through a methyl-ene group, with a dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzene ring and the indole moiety of 88.44 (8)°. In the crystal, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O and π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.383 (3) Å] link the mol-ecules together to form a three-dimensional framework.
