8-Hydroxy-3,4-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-isochromen-1-one

Abstract

In the title compound, C23H18O5, the two methoxy-substituted benzene rings are inclined to one another by 67.0 (2)° and to the mean plane of the 1H-isochromene ring system by 67.21 (16) and 27.61 (17)°. There is an intramolecular C—H...π interaction present involving the two 4-methoxyphenyl rings. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along the [301] direction. The chains are linked by a number of C—H...π interactions, forming a three-dimensional structure.
