The title compound, C18H18O4, is a triclinic polymorph of the previously reported monoclinic polymorph [Han & Zhen (2005 ▶). Acta Cryst. E61, o4358–o4359]. In the crystal of the triclinic polymorph, molecules are linked by two pairs of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to (102), and enclosing loops with graph set motifs of R
2
2(8) and R
2
2(6).
In the title compound, C20H19O4, the benzene rings, linked via five methylene C atoms, form a dihedral angle of 77.28 (6)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked via pairs of weak C—H⋯O interactions [graph set R
2
2(6)] into dimers that are further connected by additional weak C—H⋯O interactions [graph sets R
2
2(14), R
2
2(26) and R
2
2(6)].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
