General description

4-Methylphenyl benzoate is an ester. Structure of 4-methylphenyl benzoate resembles phenyl benzoate and 4-methoxy­phenyl benzoate, in terms of similar geometric parameters. The dihedral angle between the phenyl and benzene rings in 4-methylphenyl benzoate is 60.17 (7)°. Fries rearrangement of 4-methoxy­phenyl benzoate catalyzed by sulfated zirconia is reported.
