The title compound, C
16H
18O
4, is a derivative of 3,4-dihydro-2
H-pyran-4-one. The plane of the pyranone ring system forms a dihedral angle of 42.76 (10)° with that of the phenyl group. The crystal structure is stabilized by C—H

O interactions that enclose an
R21(6) ring motif and link the molecules into chains along the
c axis. A short intramolecular O

O contact [2.942 (3) Å] gives rise to an
S(5) motif.

Special details top
Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes)
are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken
into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles
and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only
used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic)
treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
