[4-(Allyloxy)phenyl](phenyl)methanone

Abstract

The structure of the title compound, C16H14O2, features a dihedral angle of 54.4 (3)° between the aromatic rings. The allyl group is rotated by 37.4 (4)° relative to the adjacent benzene ring. The crystal packing is characterized by numerous C—H...O and C—H...π interactions. Most of these interactions occur in layers along (011). The layers are linked by C—H...π interactions along [100], forming a three-dimensional network.
