Crystal structure of 3,4-dimethoxyphenol

Abstract

The title compound, C8H10O3, has two planar mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit possessing mean deviations from planarity of 0.051 and 0.071 Å. In the crystal, there are two distinct infinite chains, both along [010]. The chains are formed by O—H⋯O inter­actions between the phenol and both the 3-meth­oxy and the 4-meth­oxy groups.
