The title compound, C22H26O5, is an important intermediate for the synthesis of side-chain ligands for polymeric liquid crystals. The octyl group is coplanar with the central C6O moiety, where the maximum deviation of a C atom in the octyl group from the C6O plane is 0.161 (5) Å. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds.
