In the title compound, C17H18O5, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 31.23 (16)°. In the crystal, the molecules are packed in an antiparallel fashion in layers along the a axis. In each layer, very weak C—HO hydrogen bonds occur between the methoxy and methyl ester groups. Weak C—Hπ interactions between the 4′- and 5′-methoxy groups and neighbouring benzene rings [methoxy-C–ring centroid distances = 4.075 and 3.486 Å, respectively] connect the layers.

In the title compound, C16H16O4, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 28.9 (2)°. In the crystal, molecules are packed in layers parallel to the b axis in which they are connected via weak intermolecular C—HO contacts. Face-to-face π–π interactions also exist between the benzene rings of adjacent molecules, with centroid–centroid and plane-to-plane shift distances of 3.8597 (14) and 1.843 (2) Å, respectively.
