2-Oxo-2H-chromen-4-yl 4-meth­oxy­benzoate

In the title mol­ecule, C₁₇H₁₂O₅, the chromen-2-one ring and the 4-meth­oxy­benzoate side chain are inclined to one another at a dihedral angle of 69.82 (9)°. The crystal structure features parallel sheets of centrosymmetric R₂²(6) dimers joined by a C(7) chain, resulting in centrosymetric tetra­mers of hydrogen-bonded mol­ecules with graph-set motif R₄⁴(40). These centrosymetric tetra­mers are connected by a pair of hydrogen bonds described by an R₂²(8) ring motif and a C(7) chain via C—H...O inter­actions. In the structure, there are also π–π stacking inter­actions between chromene benzene and the six-membered heterocyclic rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.691 (2) Å] and weak C=O...π inter­actions [O...(ring centroid) distance = 3.357 (3) Å].
