In the title compound, C22H17ClN2O5, the nearly planar four-membered beta-lactam ring [maximum deviation of 0.016 (1) for the N atom] makes dihedral angles of 53.07 (9), 73.19 (9) and 6.61 (9)degrees with the chloro-, nitro- and methoxybenzene rings, respectively. The crystal structure is stabilized by C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds, a weak C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interaction and a pi-pi stacking interaction [centroid-centroid distance = 3.6513 (8) angstrom] between the methoxybenzene rings of inversion-related molecules.
