Methyl (E)-3-(2-formyl-phen-oxy)acrylate.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, C11H10O4, the methyl acrylate sub-stituent adopts an extended E conformation with all torsion angles close to 180°. The conformation of the keto group with respect to the olefinic double bond is typically S-trans. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via pairs of C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers with an R 2 (2)(8) graph-set motif. The dimers are further linked via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [001], which enclose R 3 (2)(16) graph-set ring motifs. The keto group O atomaccepts two C-H⋯O interactions.
