Crystal structure of 3-(hydroxymethyl)chromone

In the title compound, C10H8O3 (systematic name 3-hydroxymethyl-4H-chromen-4-one), the fused-ring system is slightly puckered [dihedral angle between the rings = 3.84 (11)°]. The hydroxy O atom deviates from the heterocyclic ring by 1.422 (1) Å. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of O—...

Description
Summary:In the title compound, C10H8O3 (systematic name 3-hydroxymethyl-4H-chromen-4-one), the fused-ring system is slightly puckered [dihedral angle between the rings = 3.84 (11)°]. The hydroxy O atom deviates from the heterocyclic ring by 1.422 (1) Å. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of O—H...O hydrogen bonds generate R22(12) loops. The dimers are linked by aromatic π–π stacking [shortest centroid–centroid distance = 3.580 (3) Å], and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, generating a three-dimensional network.
