In the title compound, C16H14O4, the benzene rings are inclined at a dihedral angle of 75.14 (9)°. The torsion angle of the bridging O—C—C—O group is −76.50 (11)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—HO hydrogen bonds, forming C(6) chains along [100]. Furthermore, C—Hπ interactions and π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.6957 (7) and 3.6735 (8) Å] contribute to the stability of the crystal packing.
