title: Redetermination of 3,5-dimethyl-phenol.
abstract: The previous structure determination [Gillier-Pandraud et al. (1972 ▶). C. R. Acad. Sci. Ser. C, 275, 1495] of the title compound, C(8)H(10)O, did not report atomic coordinates. There are two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit, A and B, which both show approximate non-crystallographic C(s) symmetry. The intra-cyclic C-C-C angles cover the range 118.74 (12)-121.76 (13)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating [001] C(2) (2)(4) chains such that mol-ecules A and B alternate. There is no aromatic π-π stacking in the crystal as the shortest centroid-centroid distance is greater than 4.74 Å.
