Methyl 2-(2-chloro­benz­amido)­benzoate

In the title mol­ecule, C₁₅H₁₂ClNO₃, the planar chloro­phenyl moiety forms a dihedral angle of 60.70 (7)° with the mean plane through the rest of the non-H atoms in the mol­ecule. The carbonyl O atoms are involved in intramolecular N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In the solid state, the mol­ecules exist as centrosymmetric C—H⋯O hydrogen-bonded dimers.
