In the title compound, C28H22O6, the chromeno ring system is almost planar, with a dihedral angle between the mean planes of the pyran and benzene rings of 1.87 (8)°. The pyran ring bearing the methylphenyl substituent has a half-chair conformation while the other pyran ring has an envelope conformation with the tetrasubstituted C atom as the flap. The benzene ring of the chromeno ring system is inclined to the benzene ring fused to the latter pyran ring by 74.66 (9)°. These aromatic rings are inclined to the 4-methylphenyl ring by 52.67 (9) and 66.63 (10)°, respectively. In the crystal, molecules are linked via C-H
O hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to the bc plane.
