Description
Summary:The title compound, C14H12O4, is a deoxybenzoin derivative in which the dihedral between the carbonyl group and the catechol unit is 5.99 (3)°. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 60.26 (13)°. In the crystal structure, intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds connect molecules, forming a two-dimensional network. In addition, weak intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds and C—H...π contacts further stabilize the crystal structure.
