Description
Summary:The structure of the title compound, C9H10O2, is related to that of 4-methylphenyl 4-methylbenzoate and ethylene di-4-methylbenzoate showing similar bond parameters. The molecule is planar, the dihedral angle between the aromatic ring and the –COOMe group being 0.95 (6)°. The cystal structure exhibits intermolecular C—H...O contacts that link molecules into infinite chains extended in the [001] direction.
