title: Crystal structure of 4-acetyl-phenyl 3-methyl-benzoate.
abstract: The planes of the aromatic rings of the title compound, C16H14O3, make a dihedral angle of 82.52 (8)°. The acetyl group and the phenyl ring make a dihedral angle of 1.65 (1)°. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by C-H⋯O interactions, generating C(7) chains along the a-axis direction.
