2-(4-Meth-oxy-phen-yl)-4-oxo-4-phenyl-butane-nitrile

Abstract

The title mol-ecule, C(17)H(15)NO(2), is twisted, the dihedral angle between the terminal benzene rings being 63.30 (6)°. In the crystal, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N inter-actions lead to supra-molecular layers in the ab plane. These are connected along the c axis via C-H⋯π inter-actions.
