The complete molecule of the title compound, C18H20O4Si, is generated by crystallographic twofold symmetry, with the Si atom lying on the rotation axis. The molecule adopts a V-shape: the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and it attached methyl formate unit is 9.3 (2)°, and the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 68.8 (1)°. In the crystal, weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into [101] chains.
