We report on the microwave spectrum of ethyl valerate, C(4)H(9)-COO-C(2)H(5), observed by molecular beam Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy (MB-FTMW). Highly accurate rotational and centrifugal distortion constants of the two most abundant conformers were determined. Their structure was investigated by comparison
