Crystals of ethyl p ‐chloro α ‐cyano‐ β ‐methyl‐ cis ‐cinnamate, C 13 H 12 NO 2 Cl, are orthorhombic, space group Pbcn , with eight molecules per unit cell, a = 17.31, b = 8.68 and c = 17.20 Å. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined subsequently by Fourier techniques. The benzene ring makes a dihedral angle of 60.0° with the ethylenic group. This suggests significant steric effects of the β ‐methyl group and of the carbonyl group on the orientation of the benzene ring. The conformation of the ethylene bond and the carbonyl group around the C α C bond is roughly cisoid and the angle of twist is 16.5°. Nearest‐neighbour >C = C
