In the title compound, C(18)H(15)ClO(3), the dihydro-indenone group makes a dihedral angle of 8.56 (6)° with the bezene ring. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are inter-connected into a three-dimensional network via inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Weak C-H⋯π and π⋯π [centroid-centroid distances 3.6598 (9)-3.6913 (9) Å] inter-actions are also observed.
