Abstract
The molecular structure of the title compound, C12H14O2, features a nearly coplanar arrangement including the aromatic ring, the C C—C group and the ether O atom. The maximum deviation from the least-squares plane of these ten atoms is 0.0787 (8) Å for the ether O atom. In the crystal, molecules are connected via O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds (involving the hydroxy O atom both as hydrogen-bond donor and acceptor) and weaker (aryl)C—H⋯π(aryl) contacts, leading to the formation of strands running parallel to the b axis. Further stabilization results from weaker (methyl)C—H⋯π(acetylene) interactions between different strands.
