Abstract
The title compound, C16H22O3, is bent with a dihedral angle of 75.3 (1)° between the mean planes of the benzene ring and a group encompassing the ester functionality (O=C - O - C). In the crystal, the molecules are linked into infinite chains held together by weak C - H⋯O hydrogen-bonded interactions between an H atom on the benzene ring of one molecule and an O atom on the ketone functionality of an adjacent molecule. The chains are arranged with neighbouring tert-butyl and dimethyl groups on adjacent chains exhibiting hydro-phobic stacking, with short C - H⋯H - C contacts (2.37 Å) between adjacent chains.
