Ethyl 2-[(2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl)oxy]acetate

In the title compound, C13H12O5, the mean plane of the 2H-chromene ring system (r.m.s deviation = 0.026 ) forms a dihedral angle of 81.71 (6)° with the mean plane of ethyl 2-hydroxyacetate moiety (r.m.s deviation = 0.034 ). In the crystal, C—H...O hydrogen bonds result in the formation of zigzag layers parallel to the bc plane.
