Abstract
The title compound, C 10 H 10 O 4, was synthesized from tetramethyl-1,4-benzoquinone. In the crystal, the almost planar molecule (r.m.s. deviation = 0.024 Å) forms intramolecular hydrogen bonds between the aldehyde and hydroxy groups and exhibits C 2v symmetry. This achiral molecule crystallizes in the chiral space group P2 1 with intermolecular O - H⋯O and C - H⋯O hydrogen bonding and C - H⋯ and C=O⋯π interactions stabilizing the crystal packing.
