Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 295 K; mean (C-C) = 0.003 Å; R factor = 0.045; wR factor = 0.142; data-to-parameter ratio = 13.9.In the title compound, C 18 H 18 O 4 , the six-membered chroman-4-one ring adopts an envelope conformation with the C atom bonded to the bridging CH 2 atom as the flap. The dihedral angle between the mean plane of the fused pyranone ring and the dimethoxy-substituted benzene ring is 89.72 (2) . In the crystal, adjacent molecules are linked via C-HÁ Á Á interactions.
