title: Methyl 4-methyl-benzoate.
abstract: The structure of the title compound, C(9)H(10)O(2), is related to that of 4-methyl-phenyl 4-methyl-benzoate and ethyl-ene di-4-methyl-benzoate showing similar bond parameters. The mol-ecule is planar, the dihedral angle between the aromatic ring and the -COOMe group being 0.95 (6)°. The cystal structure exhibits inter-molecular C-H⋯O contacts that link mol-ecules into infinite chains extended in the [001] direction.
