2,5-Dimethylphenyl benzoate

Abstract

In the title compound, C15H14O2, the plane of the central –C(=O)–O– group is inclined at an angle of 3.7 (2)° with respect to the benzoate ring. The two benzene rings are almost perpendicular, making a dihedral angle of 87.4 (1)°. In the crystal, molecules are packed into infinite chains through weak C—H...π interactions.
