Abstract: The benzofuran moiety of the title molecule, C₁₀H₈O₂, is planar and forms a dihedral angle of 6.69  (9)° with the attached acetyl group. In the crystal structure, symmetry-related molecules are linked to form chains by C-HO intermolecular hydrogen bonds involving the furan H atom and the O atom of the acetyl group. Adjacent chains are interlinked through weak C-H interactions involving the furan ring.
