Abstract

In the title compound, C22H22O, the dihedral angle between the planes of the benzene rings is 53.55 (7)°. Weak C-H⋯O inter-actions help to direct the packing, forming sheets lying parallel to (020).

Keywords: C—H⋯O interactions; crystal structure; cyclohexenenones; α,β-unsaturated ketones.
