title: 1-(1,3-Benzodioxol-5-yl)pentan-1-one.
abstract: In the mol-ecule of title compound, C(12)H(14)O(3), the benzodioxole ring system is essentially planar. In the crystal structure, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link mol-ecules into chains along the c axis, and π-π contacts between dioxole rings and between dioxole and benzene rings of the benzodioxole ring systems [centroid-centroid distances 3.702 (3) and 3.903 (3) Å] may further stabilize the structure. Two C-H⋯π inter-actions are also found.
