3-(4-Fluorophenyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one

Abstract

The title compound, C16H13FO2, was prepared from 4-methoxyhypnone and 4-fluorobenzophenone by Claisen–Schmidt condensation. All the bond lengths and bond angles are in normal ranges. The dihedral angle formed by the two benzene rings is 33.49 (2)°. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions.
