title: 1-(2-Hy-droxy-4,5-dimeth-oxy-phen-yl)ethanone.
abstract: The mol-ecular structure of the title compound, C10H12O4, contains an intra-molecular hydrogen bond between the phenol and acetyl substituents. In the crystal, C-H⋯π inter-actions act between the mol-ecules in a cyclic manner to stabilize stacks of mol-ecules along the b axis. Several C-H⋯O inter-actions are present between the stacks.
