Abstract: The title compound, C₁₃H₁₈O₄, is an intermediate product in the synthesis of quinazoline derivatives. Crystal structure analysis shows that the benzene-butoxy C_ar-O-C-C torsion angle is 175.3 (2)° and that the benzene-methoxycarbonyl C_ar-C-O-C torsion angle is 175.2 (2)°. Torsion angles close to 180° indicate that the molecule is almost planar.
