The title compound, C16H14O5, was prepared from the reaction of 3-carbethoxycoumarin with furan in the presence of AlCl3 as catalyst. In the crystal, intermolecular C-H
O hydrogen-bonding interactions between four molecules lead to a tetramer in the unit cell. The furan ring is antiperiplanar [C-C-C-O = 167.9 (13)°] and the ethoxycarbonyl group is (-)anticlinal [C-C-C-O = -128.6 (14)°] to the lactone ring.
