In the crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₄H₁₂Cl₃NO₂, no classical hydrogen-bonding interactions are observed. The methylene fragments of the benzyl groups participate in non-classic hydrogen-bond interactions with the carbonyl O atoms of neighboring molecules, generating co-operative centrosymmetric dimers withR₅⁵(10) ring motifs. The overall molecular arrangement in the unit cell seems to be highly influenced by secondary non-covalent weak C—Cl...π [Cl...Cg(phenyl ring) = 3.732 (2) Å] and C—O...π [O...Cg(pyrrolidine ring) = 2.985 (2) Å] contacts.
