Methyl 4′,5-dichloro-2-hy­droxy-4,6-dimethyl­biphenyl-3-carboxyl­ate

In the title compound, C₁₆H₁₄Cl₂O₃, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two benzene rings is 55.30 (5)°. The methyl ester group lies within the ring plane due to an intra­molecular O—H...O hydrogen bond [maximum deviation from the C₈O₂ mean plane is 0.0383 (13) Å]. In the crystal, mol­ecules are held together by rather weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds.
