(3,6-Dimethoxynaphthalen-2-yl)(naphthalen-2-yl)methanone

Abstract

In the title compound, C23H18O3, the dihedral angle between the two naphthalene ring systems is 78.02 (3)°. The bridging carbonyl C—C(=O)—C plane makes a dihedral angle of 70.56 (5)° with the naphthalene ring system in the 2,7-dimethoxynaphthalene moiety and a dihedral angle of 11.53 (5)° with the naphthalene ring system in the naphthoyl group. In the crystal, adjacent molecules are linked via C—H...π interactions, forming chains along [010].
