Crystal structure of 3-acet-oxy-2-methyl-benzoic acid.
In the title mol-ecule, C10H10O4, the carb-oxy-lic acid group is twisted by 11.37 (15)° from the plane of the benzene ring and the acet-oxy group is twisted from this plane by 86.60 (17)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by pairs of O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers with the expected R 2 (2)(8) graph-set motif.
