Methyl 2-(benzoyloxy)benzoate
Abstract
In the title compound, C15H12O4, the arene rings are inclined at an angle of 65.97 (6)°. The pendant methyl ester substituent has an extended conformation. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H...π interactions, forming chains propagating along the b-axis direction. The chains are linked via offset π–π interactions [intercentroid distance = 3.640 (1) Å], forming sheets parallel to (10-1).
