%X The acid catalyzed esterification of 2,6-dimethoxybenzoic acid ( 1) in the presence of absolute ethanol afforded ethyl 2, 6-dimethoxybenzoate ( 2). The structure of the resulting compound was supported by spectroscopic data and unambiguously confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The title compound crystallized in the triclinic space group P ¨© with unit cell parameters a = 8.5518(3) £¿, b = 10.8826(8) £¿, c = 11.9939(6) £¿, ¦Á = 101.273(5)¡ã, ¦Â = 98.287(3)¡ã, ¦Ã = 94.092(4)¡ã, V = 1077.54(10) £¿ 3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.296 Mg/m 3, F(000) = 448 and ¦Ì = 0.098 mm £¿1. Compound ( 2) crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit with similar conformations.
