Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C16H14O, contains two independent mol-ecules differing in the orientations of the allyl groups; the corresponding O-C-C(H2)-C(H) torsion angles are -61.01 (13) and -177.43 (10)°. In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link four mol-ecules into a centrosymmetric tetra-mer, in which each hy-droxy group acts as a donor and an acceptor of hydrogen bonds.
