The microwave spectrum of 5-methyl-1,3-dioxane was studied in the frequency range 12-35 GHz. The a and c type rotation transitions with J <= 30 were identified. The rotational constants A = 4658.5244(33) MHz, B = 2383.3930(12) MHz, and C = 1724.28907(88) MHz and the quartic constants of the centrifugal distortion of the molecule in the ground vibrational state were determined. The components of the dipole moment were found, mu(a) = 1.76 +/- 0.01 D and mu(c) = 1.10 +/- 0.01 D; the net dipole moment of the molecule is mu = 2.08 +/- 0.01 D. 5-Methyl-1,3-dioxane was calculated by the B3PW91/aug-cc-pVDZ density functional theory method. The calculated data are compared with the experimental data. The most stable conformation is the chair conformation with an equatorial orientation of the methyl group.
