(8-Benzoyl-2,7-diethoxynaphthalen-1-yl)(phenyl)methanone

Abstract

In the title compound, C28H24O4, the benzoyl groups at the 1- and 8-positions of the naphthalene ring system are aligned almost antiparallel, and the benzene rings make a dihedral angle of 20.03 (7)°. The dihedral angles between the benzene rings and the naphthalene ring system are 68.42 (5) and 71.69 (5)°. In the crystal, adjacent molecules are linked via C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along [100].
