title: Dimethyl (1-hydr-oxy-1,2-diphenyl-ethyl)phospho-nate.
abstract: In the crystal of the title compound, C(16)H(19)O(4)P, the mol-ecules are dimerized with R(2) (2)(10) ring motifs through the hydr-oxy and P=O O atoms. The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 66.89 (9)°. There are π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.9669 (16) Å] between the benzene rings of adjacent benzyl groups. A C-H⋯π inter-action between the aromatic rings where C-H is from a benzyl group is also present.
