title: Methyl 4',5-dichloro-2-hy-droxy-4,6-dimethyl-biphenyl-3-carboxyl-ate.
abstract: In the title compound, C(16)H(14)Cl(2)O(3), the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two benzene rings is 55.30 (5)°. The methyl ester group lies within the ring plane due to an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond [maximum deviation from the C(8)O(2) mean plane is 0.0383 (13) Å]. In the crystal, mol-ecules are held together by rather weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
