Abstract: In the title compound, C₂₁H₁₈O₄, the outer benzyl rings are disordered over two resolved positions in a 0.50 ratio. The O-CH₂ groups form dihedral angles of 4.1 (2) and 10.9 (4)° with the central benzene ring, adopting a syn-anti conformation with respect to this ring. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by O-HO hydrogen bonds and weak C-HO interactions, forming chains along [010].
