Methyl 2-(2-oxo-2 H -chromen-4-yl-amino)-benzoate, C 17 H 13 NO 4 ( 1 ), was pre-pared by condensation between 4-hy-droxy-coumarin and methyl 2-amino-benzoate. It crystallizes in the ortho-rhom-bic space group Pca 2 1 at 300 K. The mol-ecule of compound 1 consists of the 2 H -chromen-2-one part connected by an amine moiety (-NH-) to the methyl benzoate ring. The supra-molecular array is formed by hydrogen bonds between the aromatic ring and the O atoms of the lactone and ester portions. The structural details match the spectroscopic data acquired from NMR and IR spectroscopy., (© Hollauer et al. 2023.)
