Abstract: The molecule of the title compound, C₁₄H₁₄O₂, lies on a crystallographic twofold axis perpendicular to the central C-C bond; there is one half-molecule in the asymmetric unit. The angle between the least-squares planes of the two aromatic rings is 66.94 (7)°. The methoxy group, with a twist angle of 10.69 (8)°, is slightly out of the plane of the benzene ring. In the crystal structure, C-H interactions are observed between adjacent molecules along the c-axis direction.
