Methyl 2-(4-hydroxybenzoyl)benzoate

Abstract

In the title compound, C15H12O4, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 64.0 (6)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming C(8) chains propagating in [10overline{1}] and the packing is reinforced by weak C—H...O interactions.
