Crystal structure of 4-methoxyphenyl 2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carboxylate

Abstract

In the title compound, C17H12O5, the dihedral angle between the planes of the coumarin ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.015 Å) and the benzene ring is 48.04 (10)°. The central CO2group subtends a dihedral angle of 27.15 (11)° with the coumarin ring system and 74.86 (13)° with the benzene ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H...O interactions, which generate a three-dimensional network. Very weak C—H...π interactions are also observed.
