Abstract

The title compound, C15H20O3, is bent with a dihedral angle of 67.28 (9)° between the mean planes of the phenyl ring and a group encompassing the ester functionality (O=C - O - C). In the crystal, molecules related by inversion symmetry are connected by weak C - H⋯O interactions into infinite chains. On one side of the molecule there are two adjacent interactions between neighbouring molecules involving the H atoms of methyl groups from the dimethyl groups and the O atoms of the ketone; on the other side, there are also two interactions to another adjacent molecule involving the H atoms on the phenyl rings and the carbonyl O atoms of the ester functionality.
