Octyl 3-(3,4-dihydroxy­phen­yl)prop-2-enoate

The title mol­ecule, C17H24O4, has an E configuration and shows normal values of bond lengths and angles. A bow angle was revealed in the longer ester group. The hydr­oxy groups contribute to inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which link the mol­ecules into ribbons extended in the (\overline{1}10) direction.
