In the title compound, C15H12O4, the dihedral angle between the two aryl rings is 68.19 (9)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H...π interactions forming chains along the b-axis direction. The chains are linked by offset π–π interactions [intercentroid distance = 3.6806 (14) Å], forming sheets lying parallel to (10-1).
