X-ray analysis indicates that the chloro-phenyl ring(C(10)~C(15)) and the methyl-substituted benzene ring(C(16)~C(21)) are not coplanar with the nitro-substituted benzene ring(C(1)~C(6)), with the dihedral angle to be 70.78° and 63.72°, respectively. Hydrogen bonds C(2)–H(2)···O(2) and C(7)–H(7B)···O(5) are observed.
