4-(4-Propoxybenzoyloxy)benzoic acid

The title compound, C17H16O5, is an important intermediate for the synthesis of side-chain ligands for polymeric liquid crystals. The propoxy and benzoic acid groups subtend dihedral angles of 4.36 (6) and 55.35 (6)°, respectively, with the central benzoyloxy unit. The c...

Description
Summary:The title compound, C17H16O5, is an important intermediate for the synthesis of side-chain ligands for polymeric liquid crystals. The propoxy and benzoic acid groups subtend dihedral angles of 4.36 (6) and 55.35 (6)°, respectively, with the central benzoyloxy unit. The crystal structure is stabilized by an intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond.
