| Summary: | The title compound, C23H24O6, crystallizes with two independent molecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. The dihedral angles between the benzopyran ring and the α,β-unsaturated ketone unit and between the α,β-unsaturated ketone group and the benzene ring are 9.4 (10) and 12.96 (13)°, respectively, in molecule A and 1.40 (17) and 4.44 (17)°, respectively, in molecule B. The two methoxy groups at the meta positions of the benzene ring are close to being coplanar with the ring [C—O—C—C = 6.2 (3) and −1.4 (3)° in molecule A and −4.2 (4) and 3.7 (3)° in molecule B], whereas the third methoxy group, at the para position, is (+)-anticlinal with respect to the benzene ring [C—O—C—C = 81.7 (3)°] in molecule A and is (−)-synclinal with respect to the benzene ring [C—O—C—C = −103.2 (3)°] in molecule B. In both independent molecules, the hydroxy group is involved in an intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond.
