title: Methyl 4-benz-yloxy-2-hy-droxy-benzoate.
abstract: In the title compound, C15H14O4, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 67.18 (8)°. The Ca-Cm-O-Ca (a = aromatic and m = methyl-ene) torsion angle is 172.6 (3)° and an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into zigzag chains propagating in [001] and C-H⋯π inter-actions also occur.
