Acta Crystallogr E Crystallogr Commun. 2020 Apr 21;76(Pt 5):720-723. doi: 10.1107/S2056989020005381. eCollection 2020 May 1.

Abstract

In the title compound, C25H20O2, the central cyclo-hexenone ring adopts an envelope conformation. The mean plane of the cyclo-hexenone ring makes dihedral angles of 87.66 (11) and 23.76 (12)°, respectively, with the two attached phenyl rings, while it is inclined by 69.55 (11)° to the phenyl ring of the benzoyl group. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions, forming a three-dimensional network.
