title: 4-(4-Hy-droxy-phen-yl)butan-2-one.
abstract: In the title compound, C(10)H(12)O(2), the substituted benzene ring is inclined at a dihedral angle of 75.9 (1)° to the almost planar butan-2-one substituent (r.m.s. deviation = 0.02 Å). In the crystal, inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains along the a axis.
