A depside derivative, 2-(2-methoxy-2-oxoethyl)phenyl 2-(3,4- dimethoxyphenyl)acetate (3), was synthesized through a facile approach in high yields. Its structure was confirmed by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, ESI mass spectra, elemental analyses and X-ray single crystal diffraction study. Crystal structure analysis revealed that compound 3 crystallized in the monoclinic, space group P2₁/c with the following unit cell parameters: a = 10.173(2) A, b = 10.459(2) A, c = 16.516(3) A, α = 90°, β = 102.30(3)°, γ = 90°, V = 1717.0(6) A³, Z = 4.
