In the title compound, C(12)H(11)ClO(4), the propenoate C=C bond is in the Z configuration. The propenoate C=O and C=C groups are essentially coplanar [C=C-C=O torsion angle = 172.4 (3)°] with the O atom synperiplanar to the Cl atom. However, the π systems of the aromatic ring and chloro-propenoate substituent are not coplanar; the corresponding dihedral angle is 51.5 (1)°. The noncoplanarity is likely due to steric inter-actions between the propenoate H atom and the ortho-methoxy-carbonyl group ...[more]
