2-(5-Methyl-1,3,4-oxa­diazol-2-yl)phenyl acetate

In the title compound, C₁₁H₁₀N₂O₃, which is a potential bioactive compound, the benzene and oxa­diazole rings are approximately coplanar, with an inter-ring dihedral angle of 4.14 (2)°, while the ester plane is rotated out of the benzene plane [dihedral angle = 82.69 (9)°]. In the crystal, the mol­ecules form layers down the a axis with weak π–π inter­actions between the oxa­diazole and benzene rings [minimum ring centroid separation = 3.7706 (14) Å].
