Methyl 4-(benzyloxy)-3-methoxybenzoate

Abstract

In the title compound, C16H16O4, the aromatic rings are almost normal to one another, making a dihedral angle of 85.81 (10)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along the b-axis direction. There are also C—H...π interactions present which link the chains, forming two-dimensional networks lying parallel to (102).
