1-(2-Hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-3-(4-methylphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one

Abstract

The molecule of the title compound, C17H16O3, exists in the E conformation with respect to the central C=C bond, is almost planar(r.m.s. deviation = 0.003 Å) and has an intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond, which generates an S(6) ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H...O interactions.
