The title compound, C10H9NO2, is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation for the non-H atoms = 0.027 Å) and the conformation across the C=N bond is syn. Further, the O atom of the benzofuran ring is syn to the CH3 group in the side chain. In the crystal, molecules are linked into C(3) chains propagating in [010] by O—H...N hydrogen bonds.
