Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C17H12O4, consists of two independent mol-ecules. The chromen-2-one ring and the 4-methyl-benzoate side chain are inclined to one another at a dihedral angle of 64.79 (10)° in one mol-ecule and 88.3 (1)° in the other. In the crystal, mol-ecules form R 2 (2)(8) centrosymmetric dimers via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. These dimers are stacked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, resulting in R 2 (2)(18) and R 3 (2)(16) ring motifs. π-π stacking inter-actions between two parallel chromen-2-one rings, with centroid-centroid distances of 3.743 (1) and 3.771 (1) Å, are also present.

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
