Abstract: The non-H atoms of the title molecule, C₁₂H₁₁NO₃, are nearly coplanar, with an r.m.s deviation of 0.054 Å. There are two intramolecular C-HO hydrogen bonds. Pairs of the molecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers via intermolecular C-H interactions. The dimers are stacked along the a axis with weak - interactions.
