title: Methyl 4-amino-3-methyl-benzoate.
abstract: In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(9)H(11)NO(2), the methyl C and amino N atoms bonded to the benzene ring lie in the ring plane. Intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding results in the formation of a five-membered planar ring, which is oriented at a dihedral angle of 2.73 (3)° with respect to the benzene ring, so they are nearly coplanar. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains elongated along the c axis and stacked along the b axis.
