In the title compound, C12H9NO3, the benzoate and furan rings are almost coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 11.68 (9)°. The twist angle between the –COO group and the benzene ring is only 2.79 (16)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [100]. The molecules stack in a herringbone fashion and inversion-related chains are linked by offset π–π interactions [intercentroid distance = 3.931 (1) Å], forming ribbons propagating along the a-axis direction.
