iupac name 4 this?

see attatched

I know it's an ester an that the benzene is a side chain so we are going to be using phenyl

I know it is methyl something

I'm thinking methyl phenylmethanoate

but that doesn't sound correct :s-smilie:
looks like methyl benzoate to me

Poster above is correct, although a more IUPACCY version would be methylbenzenecarboxylate
