4-(4-Hy-droxyphenyl)butan-2-one

Abstract

In the title compound, C10H12O2, the substituted benzene ring is inclined at a dihedral angle of 75.9 (1)° to the almost planar butan-2-one substituent (r.m.s. deviation = 0.02 Å). In the crystal, intermolecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains along the a axis.
