rac-3-(4-Hy­droxy­benz­yl)chroman-4-one

In the racemic title compound, C(16)H(14)O(3), the ring of the 4-hy­droxy­benzyl substituent group forms a dihedral angle of 80.12 (12)° with the benzene ring of the chromanone system. Two C atoms of the pyran­one ring and the H atoms on the benzyl α-C atom are disordered over two sites, with site-occupation factors of 0.818 (8) and 0.182 (8). The crystal structure is stabilized by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which form parallel one-dimensional zigzag chains down the c axis and are inter­connected by both methine C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak aromatic C—H⋯π inter­actions, giving a sheet structure lying parallel to [011].
