In the title compound, C13H10O3, the pyran-one and benzene rings are almost coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 1.9 (1)°. The cyclo-hexenone ring adopts an envelope conformation, with a methyl-ene C atom located at the flap and displaced by 0.639 (3) Å from the mean plane of the other five atoms. In the crystal, pairs of weak C-H⋯π inter-actions occur between inversion-related mol-ecules.
