title: 2-Oxo-2H-chromen-4-yl 4-methyl-benzoate.
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C17H12O4, consists of two independent mol-ecules. The chromen-2-one ring and the 4-methyl-benzoate side chain are inclined to one another at a dihedral angle of 64.79 (10)° in one mol-ecule and 88.3 (1)° in the other. In the crystal, mol-ecules form R 2 (2)(8) centrosymmetric dimers via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. These dimers are stacked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, resulting in R 2 (2)(18) and R 3 (2)(16) ring motifs. π-π stacking inter-actions between two parallel chromen-2-one rings, with centroid-centroid distances of 3.743 (1) and 3.771 (1) Å, are also present.
