(E)-1-(1,3-Benzodioxol-5-yl)-3-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]prop-2-en-1-one

Abstract

In the title compound, C18H17NO3, the olefinic double bond adopts an E conformation. The molecule is nearly planar as indicated by the dihedral angle of 3.11 (6)° between the benzodioxole and benzene rings. The carbonyl group lies in the plane of the olefinic double bond and the benzodioxole ring. The trans conformation of the C=C double bond in the central enone group is confirmed by the C=C—C—C torsion angle of −177.82 (14)°.
