1-(2-Naphthyl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one

Abstract

The title compound, C19H14O, contains two independent molecules with the same s-cis conformation for the ketone unit. Both molecules are non-planar with dihedral angles of 51.9 (1) and 48.0 (1)° between the benzene ring and the naphthalene ring system. In the crystal, neighboring molecules are stabilized by intermolecular C—H...π interactions, giving a two-dimensional supramolecular array parallel to the ab plane.
