title: 4-(5-Hy-droxy-meth-yl-2-meth-oxy-phen-oxy)benzoic acid.
abstract: The title compound, C(15)H(14)O(5), crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit in which the benzene rings are inclined at dihedral angles of 79.4 (1) and 84.2 (1)°. In the crystal, inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into double chains propagating in [001].
