In the title molecule, C15H14O4, the benzene and furyl rings are inclined to each other with a dihedral angle of 41.5 (1)°. An intramolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen-bond interaction generates an S(5) ring motif. In the molecules are stacked along the b axis and the crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π interactions. In addition, π–π stacking interactions with a centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.5855 (11) Å are observed.

3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (0.01 mol, 1.66 g m) in ethanol (20 ml) was mixed with 2-acetyl furan (0.01 mol, 1.01 ml) in 20 ml ethanol and the mixture was treated with 5 ml of 10% sodium hydroxide solution and stirred at room temperature for 6 h. The precipitate obtained was poured into ice-cold water (500 ml) and left to stand for 5 h. The resulting crude solid was filtered, dried and recrystallized from N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) by slow evaporation.
H atoms were positioned geometrically [C—H = 0.93Å and 0.96 Å for methyl H atoms] and refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) and 1.5Uequ(C) methyl. The rotating group model was used for the methyl group hydrogen atoms. In the absence of significant
effects 1283 Friedel pairs were merged.Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2005); cell

Experimental. The data was collected with the Oxford Cyrosystem Cobra low-temperature attachment. |
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Among the many types of NLO chromophores developed so far, the dipolar push–pull molecules consisting of electron donor and acceptor groups inter-bridged by a π-segment have received the predominant attention (Agrinskaya et al., 1999). As a part of the investigation of nonlinear compounds (Chantrapromma et al., 2005, 2006; Fun et al., 2006; Patil, Fun et al., 2007; Patil, Dharmaprakash et al., 2007; Patil et al., 2006), the title compound (I) has recently been prepared in our laboratory and its crystal structure is presented here. The non-centrosymmetric crystal of the title compound should exhibit second-order NLO properties.
The bond lengths and bond angles in (I) have normal values (Allen et al., 1987). The benzene and furyl rings in the molecule are essentially planar with the maximum deviation from planarity being 0.016 (2) Å for atom C10 and 0.003 (2) Å for atom C4 respectively. The dihedral angle between the phenyl and the furyl rings is 41.5 (1)°, indicating that they are twisted from each other.
An intramolecular C—H···O hydrogen bond generates a S(5) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). In the crystal structure, the molecules are stacked along the b axis. The crystal packing is consolidated by C—H···O and C—H···π interactions. π–π interactions with the centroid···centroid(1 -x, y,3 - z) distance of 3.5855 (11) Å is observed.
