The title compound, C(10)H(10)O(4), crystallizes with the well-known carb-oxy-lic acid dimer-forming R(2) (2)(8) hydrogen-bond motif. Chains approximately parallel to (-1-12) are then built through C(methyl-ene,phen-yl)-H⋯O(carbon-yl) inter-actions [C(6) and C(8) motifs] with one (meth-yl)C-H⋯π inter-action providing inter-planar binding. The weakness of the latter inter-action is consistent with the difficulty experienced in obtaining suitable single crystals. ...[more]
