Methyl 4-butoxy-3-methoxybenzoate

Abstract

The title compound, C13H18O4, is an intermediate product in the synthesis of quinazoline derivatives. Crystal structure analysis shows that the benzene–butoxy Car—O—C—C torsion angle is 175.3 (2)° and that the benzene–methoxycarbonyl Car—C—O—C torsion angle is 175.2 (2)°. Torsion angles close to 180° indicate that the molecule is almost planar
