In the title molecule, C18H15NO4, the benzoate ring is oriented at a dihedral angle of 43.43 (6)° with respect to the planar [maximum deviation = 0.038 (2) Å] chromene ring. The features R22(12) centrosymetric dimers formed via C—H⋯O interactions and these dimeric aggregates are connected by C—H⋯π interactions.

To a solution of 4.10-2 mole of paradimethylamino benzoyl chloride in 150 ml of dried tetrahydrofuran, was added 0.12 mole of dried triethylamine and 4.10-2 mole of 4-hydroxycoumarin by small portions over 30 min. The mixture was then refluxed for 3 h and poured in 300 ml of chloroform or dichloromethane. The solution was acidified with dilute hydrochloric acid until the pH was 2 or 3. The organic layer was extracted, washed with water, dried over MgSO4 and the solvent removed. The crude product was recrystallized in chloroform. Colourless crystals of the title compound are obtained in a good yield: 82.6%; M.pt. 445 K.
The H-atoms were placed at calculated positions and were included in the
in the riding model approximation with C—H in the range of 0.94–0.99 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2–1.5Ueq(C).Data collection: COLLECT (Nonius, 2001); cell

Refinement. The 5 reflections 1 0 0; 0 1 0; -1 0 1; 0 0 1; -1 1 1 have been measured with too low intensities. It might be caused by some systematical error, probably by shielding by a beam stop of these diffractions. They were not used in the refinement. |

Coumarin constitutes one of the major classes of naturally occurring compounds, and interest in its chemistry continues unabated because of its usefulness as biologically active agents. It also represents the core structure of several molecules of pharmaceutical importance. Coumarin and its derivatives have been reported to serve as anti-bacterial (Ukhov et al., 2001; Abd Elhafez et al., 2003; Basanagouda et al., 2009; Liu et al., 2008), anti-oxidant (Trapkov et al., 1996; Vukovic et al., 2010), anti-inflammatory (Emmanuel-Giota et al., 2001; Hamdi & Dixneuf, 2007), anti-coagulant (Hamdi et al., 2007) and anti-tumour (Wang et al., 2001; Marchenko et al., 2006) agents. Therefore, the synthesis of new coumarin derivatives is of considerable interest. In order to study the influence of new substituents on the activity of the coumarin derivative, the title compound, (I), has been synthesized and in this paper, we present its molecular structure, Fig. 1.
In (I), the planar chromene ring system resulting from the two coupled rings (benzene and 3,6-dihydro-2H-pyran) is oriented with respect to the benzoate-benzene ring at a dihedral angle of 43.43 (6)°. Atoms O14, N19, C13 and C21 are 0.046 (1), 0.052 (1), 0.079 (2) and 0.077 (3) Å out of the plane of the benzoate-benzene ring, respectively, so, they are coplanar with this ring.
In the crystal structure, intermolecular C—H···O interactions (Table 1) link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers through R22(12) ring motifs (Bernstein et al., 1995) (Fig. 2). Two weak C—H···π interactions formed between the H71 and H202 atoms and the centroid Cg3 of the benzoate-benzene ring (Table 1 and Fig. 3) further stabilize the structure.
