In the title compound, C20H22O6, the mean planes through the benzene rings make a dihedral angle of 59.82 (7)° with each other. Weak intermolecular C—H⋯O interactions together with π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.830 (1) Å] between benzene rings are observed in the crystal packing.

K2CO3 (414 mg, 3 mmol) and 2,2'-dihydroxybiphenyl (186 mg,1 mmol) in 15 ml of acetone were stirred for 10 minutes, followed by addition of ethyl bromoacetate (314 mg, 3 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for three hours. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was dissolved in a mixture of water (50 ml) and dichloromethane (50 ml). The aqueous layer was extracted three times with dichloromethane. The combined organic phases were evaporated under reduced pressure and the solid residue was dissolved in ethanol. Slow evaporation of ethanol gave colorless crystals (736 mg) in 80% yield.
The H atoms were geometrically placed and treated as riding atoms with C—H = 0.96 Å, and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(parent C-atom) except for methyl H atoms where Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(methyl C-atom).
In the continuation of our work on biphenyl derivatives (Rabnawaz et al., 2008) we report here the synthesis and
of the title compound, I. The molecular structure and atom-numbering scheme of the title compound are shown in Fig. 1. The molecules are essentially non-planar, with a dihedral angle of 59.82 (7)° between the mean planes through the benzene rings. This is slightly more than the corresponding tert butyl ester analogue of I (Ali et al., 2008), due to the presence of the sterically less crowded ethyl ester group. The key C=O and C—O bond distances are in agreement with those observed in the related hydrazide structure (Ibad et al., 2008). NMR data show that the molecule has a non-crystallographic two-fold rotation axis.For related structures, see: Rabnawaz et al. (2008); Ali et al. (2008); Ibad et al. (2008).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

In the continuation of our work on biphenyl derivatives (Rabnawaz et al., 2008) we report here the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, I. The molecular structure and atom-numbering scheme of the title compound are shown in Fig. 1. The molecules are essentially non-planar, with a dihedral angle of 59.82 (7)° between the mean planes through the benzene rings. This is slightly more than the corresponding tert butyl ester analogue of I (Ali et al., 2008), due to the presence of the sterically less crowded ethyl ester group. The key C=O and C—O bond distances are in agreement with those observed in the related hydrazide structure (Ibad et al., 2008). NMR data show that the molecule has a non-crystallographic two-fold rotation axis.
