(Z)-N-(2,6-Diiso­propyl­phen­yl)-4-nitro­benzimidoyl chloride

In the title compound, C(19)H(21)ClN(2)O(2), the aromatic rings are approximately perpendicular to each other, subtending a dihedral angle of 87.7 (1)°. In the crystal, the 4-nitro­phenyl groups of pairs of neighbouring mol­ecules are parallel and oriented head-to-tail with a ring centroid–centroid distance of 3.9247 (12) Å, leading to a π–π inter­action between the pair. The faces of each phenyl ring of the 2,6-diiso­propyl­phenyl group inter­act with two different groups, viz. a chloro group of an adjacent mol­ecule on one side and the edge of the 4-nitro­phenyl ring of a second mol­ecule on the other side.
