In the title compound, C17H17ClO4, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two benzene rings is 65.92 (5)°. The methyl ester group lies within the ring plane [deviations of O atoms from the plane = -0.051 (2) and 0.151 (2) Å] due to an intra-molecular O - H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, molecules are held together by rather weak non-classical inter-molecular C - H⋯O hydrogen bonds, resulting in dimeric units about inversion centers, forming eight- and ten-membered ring systems as R22(8) and R2 2(10) motifs. © Adeel et al. 2009.

In the title compound, C 16H 14ClFO 3, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two benzene rings is 71.50 (5)°. Due to an intramolecular O - H⋯O hydrogen bond between the hydroxy group and the carbonyl O atom of the ethyl ester group, the ethyl ester group lies within the ring plane. The crystal structure is consolidated by intermolecular C - H⋯O and C - H⋯F interactions.
