The title mol-ecule, C(12)H(12)N(2)O(3)S, is composed of two individually planar units, viz. 5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl-sulfanyl and ethyl acetate, which are oriented at almost right angles [80.07 (8)°] with respect to each other. The structure is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The phenyl and oxadiazole rings show π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.846 (2) Å] and there is also a short π-inter-action between the carbonyl O atom and the oxadiazole ring [the distance from this O atom to the centroid of the oxadiazole ring is 3.156 (2) Å].
