Abstract
In the title compound, C14H14O4, the dihedral angle between the hydrofuran and benzene rings is 88.41 (15)°. The hydropyran ring adopts an envelope conformation, with the O-bound methylene C atom as the flap. In the crystal, weak aromatic π–π stacking is observed [centroid–centroid separation = 3.848 (2) Å].

Experimental
NaH (60% in mineral oil, 24 mmol) was added to a solution of but-2-yne-1,4-diol (2.58 g, 30 mmol) in THF (50 ml) under nitrogen, and the solution was stirred for 5 min at 20 C. Diethyl 2-(4-methoxybenzylidene)malonate (5.56 g, 20 mmol) and CuI (0.38 g, 2 mmol) were then added successively. When consumption of the starting materials was observed by TLC, the reaction mixture was added 3% HCl solution until the PH value was 7. Then the mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 (30 ml × 3). The combined organic layers were dried and solids were combined. The solid (0.973 g, 3 mmol) subsequently was reacted with 20% KOH in EtOH/THF (15/15 ml) at room temperature for 6 h. Then the reaction mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2 (30 ml) and washed with saturated Na2CO3, brine and dried with MgSO4. The mixture was purified with silica gel column chromagraphy. The Trans-form compounds could be obtained. Yield: 10%. M. p.: 407 K.
Refinement
All hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions using a riding model, with d (C—H) = 0.93 Å for aromatic, 0.97 Å for CH2 and 0.96 Å for CH3 groups, and with Uiso (H) = 1.2 Ueq(C).

Special details
| Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
| Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |
