Methyl 2-{[3-(3-methoxy­phen­yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl]meth­oxy}phenyl­acetate.

The title compound, C19H18N2O5, was synthesized by the reaction of methyl (2-hydroxy­phen­yl)acetate and 5-chloro­methyl-3-(3-methoxy­phen­yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole. The plane of the oxadiazole ring forms a small dihedral angle of 15.2 (2)° with the plane of the benzene ring directly bonded to it, whereas the second benzene ring is approximately orthogonal to the oxadiazole plane, the dihedral angle being 79.1 (2)°.
