Methyl 5-chloro-2-hydr­oxy-3-(4-methoxy­phen­yl)-4,6-dimethyl­benzoate

In the title compound, C(17)H(17)ClO(4), the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two benzene rings is 65.92 (5)°. The methyl ester group lies within the ring plane [deviations of O atoms from the plane = −0.051 (2) and 0.151 (2) Å] due to an intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, mol­ecules are held together by rather weak non-classical inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, resulting in dimeric units about inversion centers, forming eight- and ten-membered ring systems as R (2) (2)(8) and R (2) (2)(10) motifs.
