title: 3,4,5-Trimeth-oxy-phenol.
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(9)H(12)O(4), consists of two crystallographically independent mol-ecules with similar conformations: essentially planar [r.m.s deviations for C(6)O(4) = 0.0057 and 0.0137 Å] except for the central meth-oxy-methyl group [C-C-O-C torsion angles = 83.3 (2) and 83.9 (2)°]. In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules, generating supra-molecular chains along the b axis.The three-dimensional crystal structure is stabilized by C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions.
