Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₅H₁₁FO₃, the aromatic rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 69.26 (3)°. In the crystal structure, inversion dimers arise from pairs of intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds, and C-HO hydrogen bonds further consolidate the packing. There are also C-H contacts between the benzoic acid and 2-fluorobenzene rings.
