R factor = 0.052; wR factor = 0.133; data-to-parameter ratio = 25.9. In the title compound, C10H10O2, all the non-H atoms except the methyl C atoms lie on a crystallographic mirror plane. In the crystal, C—H O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into zigzag chains running parallel to [100]. Weak – stacking interactions between the benzene rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.9817 (5) Å] link the chains in the [010] direction
